Re: windows/dos games

["Neato" <nocirckids@nocirc.org>]

To be honest it's not for a game.  I just didn't want to be off-topic.
However, I am interested in general windows programming, and I have seen
dual-mode programs (like scandisk) where the same program can be run from
both dos and windows, and it adapts to whatever environment it's under.  I'm
wondering how I would write and compile a program that will do different
things under different environments.
