   A BP program can start any 32 bit windows program simply with exec(....)   
   If you know how to do it between two windows programs, a very simple   
   method would be to let the BP application start a tiny 32 bit   
   consolemode progam at the moment the event should occur. The 32 bit   
   program creates the event for the dos program e.g. by putting a message   
   on the windows clipboard or in shared memory.
