Thank you even if you can't answer![sadeyes]
Does anyone know of or explain a method of either communicating between two program (one main, one child)
in a dos environment.
I need to either start a program from within another program with some starting arguments and ignore the program, or i need to constantly pass information between the two. the first method is prefered because the starting arguments are ment to be the address of a class where the main program can change value and the child program can read the values. although any working method to get me going will work fine.[thumbsup2]
 
no!
Dos is not a multiprograming env. Even if u try that then what happend is like u'll create a process and execute some code in there. In that period of time parent process cannt come up coz of multiprogramming isnt supported and after the completion of child machine will b able to run the parent...
