    I'm not clear what you mean - do you want to call DOS (by which I presume you mean MS-DOS) commands from a C++ program, or are you talking about reimplementing the Command Prompt in C++?

    yeah exactly...call a dos command from C++ program(like "dir" to giv the directories)....use the dir command in C++ to obtain the directory as we get in cmd!!..its bit crazy:D....still any chance??...thanx for the response!
