Remember this is a dos program i am trying to run in a vfp window. The AppRun class is more than I wanted to have to incorporate, might as well rewrite. I have no trouble compiling in vfp6 to test for y2k, its the @GET with a "READ" that trashs the program. It will run once but then craps. True, it is a UI entry
as an ex..."@ 5,35 GET MCAR PICT '!!!-!!!!'".

I didn't write it, I have to make it work from vfp with minimal coding and time spent. The idea of running the DOS main prg from the gotfocus of a form was a great idea until the READ conflicted with the READ EVENTs.
