 Novice Question: Launching DOS application

I am seeking advice on doing the following: (I've looked in
numerous books and can't find any information.) I want to retrofit
a C application that runs under DOS with a Windows Interface. The user
will enter some parameters which will be saved to a file. The
application is then launched with the paramater file as the input.
When the application finishes, the program returns to the GUI.
The application must run under DOS - it can't run in a Window.

Any advice appreciated.

Marc,

You can implement a Windows interface for the user to enter and save
parameters to a file.  Then use the WinExec function to run the DOS
program.

I would use the Vb shell command.
