Paul, You are in for a treat! When communicating with a DOS program, you cannot pass it a memory segment like you do from a DOS program. You have to go through some gyrations, use the protected mode interface, etc. You might want to consider my company's MicroHelp Muscle. We have routines (including source) in it that: Allocate memory from Windows Assign a DOS "segment" to that memory, which you pass to the DOS program Have examples of using the DPMI protected mode interface Mark
