-/*
- * w9xpopen.c
- *
- * Serves as an intermediate stub Win32 console application to
- * avoid a hanging pipe when redirecting 16-bit console based
- * programs (including MS-DOS console based programs and batch
- * files) on Window 95 and Windows 98.
- *
- * This program is to be launched with redirected standard
- * handles. It will launch the command line specified 16-bit
- * console based application in the same console, forwarding
- * its own redirected standard handles to the 16-bit child.
-
- * AKA solution to the problem described in KB: Q150956.
