I've developed some .exe command program long time ago in DOS/Windows.
I would like to know if Window Mobile can call up the command prompt (DOS prompt) so that i can execute those .exe program?

besides, some programs are written in C language with Winsock (also command programs), can Window Mobile can call those programs up?

I don't wanna re-write those programs again.

No, you will need to recompile the program specifically for the WM OS.

Why is it so?

those command programs are now working fine in Windows XP.
and it logically would be working fine in Window Mobile.

as they are not much different, esp DOS programs only.

It's the same reason that you cannot run Windows program on a Mac OS. WM operating system is totally different than regular desktop Windows OS.
