I've got some DOS games that will not run when Windows is running and
require the full DOS environment. I've tried it and the game will not
run and will crash Windows 3.11 on my 386. It's even documented in the
games' user manuals.
I want to create a .BAT file for these DOS games that requires a full
DOS session so that Windows will exit, run the DOS game then return to
Windows automatically.
I've seen various utility .EXEs available that will exit Windows 3.x,
run a DOS program then restart Windows 3.x after the DOS program has
completed, but if a .BAT file has the ability to do this with command
line switches then I'd rather use a .BAT file. I think these utilities
must be .BAT files converted to .EXE and use the "win :" command to
restart Windows and supress the startup splash logo.
I've searched through Microsoft's help on how to do this but I can't
find it documented.
Is it possible to write a .BAT file to exit Windows, then run a DOS
program, then return to Windows?
