Maybe you could use the VXD call mechanism to call a Windows API function to either disable maximization or hide the window (which I expect would be equally acceptable). OTOH, Apache for Win32 also runs using a command-line box on Win9x - there's no real problem with that. If you think your users will think 'Oh, no text, guess I can close this window', why don't you just print some friendly text at startup ('Please don't close this window, as it would disable the Frob program')? -- Tim Van Holder - Falcon Software N.V. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message was posted using plain text.
