I have done this in FPW2.6 - Run a dos app without the DOS window popping up. I got the idea from a VBasic help tips&Tricks file. It is buired somewhere and will dig it out. Basically you need to run the dos program with a special .pif and from FPW using foxtools call the API SHOWWINDOW with the parameter HIDE. I will delve deep and come up with it if you still need it.
