- Hi Rob,
-
- >>What about setting up how DOS apps run? Won't pifs be useful for that?
-
- PIF files are used by the 16-bit layer for running 16-bit apps, but not
- necessary in most cases, pretty much the same as on Win 3.x.
-
- >>Or is there (will there be) a newer way to set up this stuff?
- Specifically, EMS and XMS memory availability, runs in background,
- maybe priority level...
-
- PIF files will not be necessary for 32-bit console apps and will not be looked
- at by the system. I am not aware of a ".PIF type" of information file that
- will allow the capabilities you mentioned.
