Anything that makes a DOS call must be a PROCESS, not a TASK. This is because
CreateProc() sets up a more elaborate control block (TCB) that DOS uses. Lots
of folks are having this problem. Apparently, you can do the TASK things on
PROCESSES (Like set priorities, etc). This area of the machine is pretty
ragged, document-wise. I have been told that it all works, though. Use
CreateProc instead of CreateTask and lots of your problems will go away. You
probably found out all this on BIX….. -Larry-
