labwindows for dos application in labview

[K-BONE]

I have an application (including the source code) that was developed using LabWindows for DOS 2.3.1. Is there anyway that it can be used in or converted to LabView 6.9.2?

You can use the C code and make a LabVIEW CIN or dll but neither can be made with the old LabWindow/DOS compiler. Only Visual C++ and Symantec C are supported for CIN creation. If you could upgrade to LabWindows/CVI then you could use the LabVIEW import CVI driver function or add ActiveX communication. The only other option I see is to use LabVIEW's System Exec function to run an exe. You could pass parameters using the standard input and output or external text files.
