I think most of those programs are not 32-bit clean, or otherwise 
not compatable.  However, many people (including me) have have success 
by simply unpacking the file and then stripping the first 84 bytes 
from it (header info). The result is equivalent to an HFV, and if 
you place such a file in your executor directory with an .HFV extension, 
they will show up as drives.
(There are some utilities on the ftp sites to help dos users with the 
process, but I have not personally tried them)
