>I've got a DOS decryption program (DOX.exe). It reads an encrypted file. It outputs a decrypted text file. The various RUN methods (!/N, !/7) are not modal, but they don't pif. The DOS RUN command is modal, but it pifs. I would like to execute without a pif modally. Or at least until the output file has completed its write. I heard that ShellExecute might provide that method. Any hints or tips?
