SUMMARY
=======

WINSTUB is provided with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) as a normal
MS-DOS program. It contains only an assembly equivalent to a printf() line. It
is assembly, so it does not have the overhead it would if it used the C runtime
library. WINSTUB can be used as a stub if no MS-DOS version of a program exists.
To have both a Windows version and an MS-DOS version of a program in one .EXE
file, replace the following line in the .DEF file

  STUB 'WINSTUB.EXE'

with the following line

  STUB 'MYDOSAPP.EXE'

and relink.
