o My previous post: I can do EGA/VGA graphics in a DOS window under win3

o Correction: yes, but then I can do little else!

   Try this: Run a EGA/VGA graphics program in full screen mode. Wait till
   you are in graphics mode. Now hit alt-enter. Graphics should be 
   displayed in a window. (This is why I thought that graphics programs
   run in a window) Now try to give input to that program. No dice. (This
   is why I am posting this note.) What happened initially was that I 'ran'
   a chess program like this in a window. However, since I only know how
   to use it via mouse, and you can't have a DOS window using the mouse,
   I was unable to verify that the program actually 'runs'. 

I hope anyone who wasted time on pif files after my initial note will
accept my sincerest apologies for the time wasted.
