Don't know, but I doubt it, unless the program is a dual mode one (DOS/Win32)
and the DOS stub calls the Win32 code. But I don't think it could be logic,
but is M$ ... let me see ...
Ugh! the 34% of the program is an MS-DOS program, the rest is a Win32 one! I
think then this program was designed to run in pure DOS too, so it shouldn't
call a Win32 program.
