You can periodically check the progress of the application using the object's CheckProcessExitCode() method; if returns a value other than 259, the other instance is done.

Yes, the DOS app is set to close on exit -
I think that the LaunchAppandWait is unaware of which process it is to wait on!

We have fully moved over to the new job tracking system and debugging the printing will have to be low priority for now.

But I would appriciate any further ideas.
