This is country that has been traversed before but I am having a problem
with a DOS program (16bit not a console-mode app) under Win NT. I want to
capture the output from the DOS program which does write to standard output
(piping works) into a memo for inspection.
I have used David Rifkind's excellent Proctest for my code and it has no
problem with 32bit console-mode programs. When I try to execute the DOS
program, the createprocess call dies with "Access denied" (error 5). Strange.
The command is mkchrt -C -Dfile.
If I instead execute
cmd /c mkchrt -C -Dfile,
mkchrt runs perfectly except:
1/ A dos box window appears on the screen (though it is always empty)
2/ I dont get any output captured from program.
If I try
cmd /c mkchrt -C -Dfile > test.out
The test.out is also empty but always has something in it I just run mkchrt
on the command line.
Any ideas please?? I've checked and rechecked startupinfo parameters and
cant find anything.
