Christian,
Here is the code that I use. I added the "toFront()" and changed "show()" to
"setVisible(true)", but this has no effect. Again, I don't have any problem if
I simply start a Swing applicaton on NT. The problem arises when we have an
already running non-GUI TCP/IP Java server application which is request to start
a Swing application. The problem occurs whether or not the the MSDOS window
containing the TCP/IP Java server is maximized and has the focus or not.

* This method sizes the frame and shows it. The window is
* sized at a maximum of MAX_WINDOW_WIDTH X MAX_WINDOW_HEIGHT and
* centered on the screen.
*/
public void showFrame() {
// If any error during initialization, then return.
if (initError)
return;
// Size the frame and display it in the middle of the screen.
Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
int width = Math.min(Constants.MAX_WINDOW_WIDTH, screen.width);
int height = Math.min(Constants.MAX_WINDOW_HEIGHT, screen.height);
int left = (screen.width - width)/2;
int top = (screen.height - height)/2;
setBounds(left, top, width, height);
// Trying to force visibility on Windows.
toFront();
setVisible(true);
//show();
windowOpen = true;
}
