And if you use CreateProcess() to run it you can hide the dos window - or
use SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE in lpStartupInfo to have it minimized at least - and
then wait on the return value. ShellExecute() is a handy routine for
starting programs that you don't want any feedback from, but for console
apps that you need to know the return value for CreateProcess() is a better
(albeit more complicated) way to go.
