>>Hi folks ---

>>I have a baffling situation. I have to call a little DOS EXE program that was written in Borland Turbo C some years ago. This program has a PIF file that doesn't look unusual but the behavior when I call this program varies. I am running the PIF, not the EXE:

It shouldn't work but unexpectedly works :)
