Thank you for downloading WinDos.  WinDos is a program
that allows you to launch dos applications which do not
run properly under Windows from Windows.

The technique is simple.  WinDos closes windows, runs
the dos application, then restarts windows.  The advantage
is a stable, fast dos environment, at the price of the
loss of multitasking capability.  

WinDos is ideal for playing games that need speed - you
start the game just like any other dos icon, but windows
is not running in the background as it is in a normal
dos window, or fullscreen.  So all your cpu time goes into
the game, and not into waiting for a task-switch command.

In order to use WinDos place the file windos.exe in your
windows subdirectory, usually c:\windows.  Create a batch
file which starts your dos application and place it somewhere
in the path.  From Windows Program Manager, use 
File|New|Program Item to create an icon for the dos application.
on commandline, type windos, then the batch file for the 
dos application as a parameter to windos, like this:
commandline:  windos mcgee.bat
you can put the Name as the Name of the game, in this case,
Mcgee.

If you run windos with no parameter, it will open a dos
shell.  If you run the LandMark speedcom program in windos
and in normal windows dos, you will see the difference.
