Can't say - I'm keeping Win95 off my own PC for as long as I can .
However, I may have a possibility to test WinExecAndWait on a Windows NT
network server (i.e. running right on the server PC itself).  Would that
answer the question ?
W32 may be changed, but I would have thought they would provide SOME way in
the Win32-API to determine if a particular task was still active.  Or does
multi-threading (or whatever the concept is called) make that impossible ?
An alternative might be to run the batch file in a non-maximized window,
using WinExec, and to have the main task post a MessageDlg asking the user
to press OK when the batch file completes (or when the MS-DOS icon vanishes,
if we run minimized).  Yuck.
All of which raises an interesting question.  Is there any way that a Delphi
1.0 program can determine whether it is running under Win 3.1 or Win95 ?  In
other words, does WinAPI's GetVersion still work in Win32, and if so, what
version number does it return for Win95 ?
