This is mainly a question for other front-end coders, but Windows knowledgable people may be interested, too.

How can you detect a Win32 exe vs. a DOS exe?

Ok, to answer my own question.... You can detect a Windows file by trying to find the PE File Signature.

I can use this to put "start /wait" in front of Windows executables only.  I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
