You dont need a DOS window. There are several ways to get Chessmaster to work in
Fritz. For example:

-Rename TheKing.exe in your Chessmaster directory to TheKing323.exe
-Copy Inbetween.exe in your Chessmaster directory and rename it to TheKing.exe
-Make a file Inbetween.ini in your Chessmaster directory similar to this:

[InBetween]
CommandLine := c:\Chessmaster9000\TheKing323.exe
Log := logfile.log

[Client2Server]

[Server2Client]

- Start CM9000, start the engine, exit the program and view the logfile to get
the OPK number.
Of course you can only set up Chessmaster in Fritz, not vice versa.
