Hello. I created batch file to start old dos programs. What I want is from this batch file to start old win32 app?
Is that possible and what is the code?
c:\app\somtething.exe

it says "This program must be run under win32"

DOSBox has a limited capability of running Windows 3.1 programs. To do so, you must start Windows within DOSBox, then run the program.

If your program requires a more modern version of Windows, you will have to run it some other way.
