Thanks wd,

But i'm not talking about reprogramming DosBox, but externally, letting D.O.G. detect the execution line.
Because currently I search for the DosBox "SDL Form" off class "SDL_app" and ask the Window's position, center the mouse on it and simulate a click. This is executed afther a certain time, but during this time D.O.G. is in sleep mode, doing nothing at all, not even processing messages what in Windows results in a 'Hanging' application. If I could detect the call to the executable then I could make the clicking snappier and faster.

Don't know if that's possible. You might add some line right before the
executable is started like "echo x >loaded.dat" and check for that file.
Sounds clumsy to me though.
But i neither see any problem with klicking on the window or using the
lockfree mouse.

Hi,

Could be done,

Thanks for the tip,

The feature is only to make starting a game more transparent, user friendly.

Thanks again,

Erik.
