It would make sense, but you would need a mechanism for the two programs
to communicate information. I'm not a Win95 programmer, so I really
don't
know what mechanisms exist. Is there anyway for a Win95 console mode
program
to communicate with a DOS program? I know data can be exchanged through
the clipboard, but that sounds really messy.
