Howto force DOS window to stay open - Programmer

Hi,

I am porting an application to run on windows using C and GTK. The
application was originally written to run on unix. During the startup
sequence, the app. outputs some information to the shell. Currently, I
can see a DOS window flash on the screen before the app opens. But the
DOS window will not stay open. I'd like to see the contents of the DOS
window, so I'd like for the DOS window to remain open while my
application is running. Is there a way to do this? I am running on
windows 2000, if it makes any difference.

Thanks
Ken

Run the application using cmd.exe using the /K option.

cmd.exe /k my_application.exe
