Dave,
Thanks for the answer.

Just to clarify, I need to run on a DOS shell under a windows machine.
This is for a grid computing environ our university is setting up. For
reasons beyond me, the are going to run this on unused machines, not as
'screensavers', but as DOS executables. So, I'll try today the
suggestions I got.
Thanks !
