RunExit in Windows 95 and
Windows NT

RunExit does not work in Windows 95 or Windows NT because the DOS operating system is not the same as in Windows 3.1. However you can still exit and run a DOS application by making a change to the properties of the applications pif file.

How to Exit and Run a DOS application.

     1  Run the application
     2  Select properties from the drop down list in the Control Menu.
        This will display the dialog box, "MS DOS Prompt Properties". 
     3  On the first tab, push the "Advanced" button. 
     4  Under Advanced check the box  "MS-DOS MODE".  By doing so, this will 
        cause the app to close down Windows, run outside of Windows and then restart 
        Windows when it is closed.
     5  After making these changes.  Use WinBatch to Run the program from
        the pif file.  
                        Run("prog.pif", "")
