The Purpose of WINSTUB in Windows SDK

ID: Q11591

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

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.
