    i have two questions: 1) how do i go about creating a gui for a dos (not dos-mode) application? ie. what program do i use to creat this? 2) if i don't want to make a gui then what do i need to make a command based application in dos? and are .exe and .com the same thing? thanks, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people.

      1. DOS has not a gui support, you need a third party library like Borland's Turbo Vision (text mode windows) or other. 2) All reasonable programing tools (Turbo Pascal, C/C++) for dos can create command-line programs. Pavel Sonork 100.15206

        i know dos doesn't have a gui support....so how do i make one? ex. i've seen some bios screens that have a gui. i made a console app in c# but i guess it won't run in dos. can i make a console app in c++ .net or c++ 6.0? thanks, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people.

            You might want to try these (somewhat dated) packages:

            • DOSGUI[^]
            • Windoz[^]
            • WinMan[^]

            Check out other links here[^]. Good luck! /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
