run MS-DOS apps?

0

You can either run a DOS session by hitting Start/Programs/MS-DOS Prompt and run the DOS program from there, or open it from Explorer. If it’s a DOS program, Win95 will start a DOS session and load the program into it. NOTE: If you launch a DOS program from Explorer, it will create a PIF file for it (Also called a “Shortcut to MS-DOS Program”). If it can’t write to the directory where the program resides, it will write the PIF file to %windir%\pif\. If you want to avoid making four hundred PIF files, run the MS-DOS Prompt first, then run the program within that session. It will use the program properties built into the default PIF (dosprmpt.pif) instead of making one.
