If these reallt are Windows applications, then you should be running them
from Windows, and not from DOS or a DOS box.  Do NOT create PIFs for true
Windows apps.  Instead, install them directly into your Program Manager.
If you prefer to run them without installing them into ProgMan, then bring
up the MS-DOS Executive or File Manager and double-click on the executable.
