Use C++. Or Visual Basic. Or just about any compilable programming language.

Your question is too vague. But if you have a program written in C++ and you want it to call another program or run a dos command, I believe shellex("whateveryourcommandisgoeshere") will do the trick.

Do a system call if you're programming it.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Are you coding this in C++? If so, there is a system() function that allows you to pass a text string to be executed by ms-dos. It works something like this:

1) Declare a string variable to hold your dos command.
apstring myVariable;

2) Store your dos command into myVariable.
myVariable = "copy c:\\winnt\\filename.txt c:\\filename.txt";

3) Pass your variable to the system function.
system(myVariable.c_str());

Note, the system function doesn't take apstring's. The .c_str() converts the apstring to a C-style string.

Ummm... back in the day I used a program called bat2exe.exe or something. There are also bat2com.exe files to convet to .com files. If you convert to .com, just rename it to a .exe and it will work the same way.
