MORE INFORMATION

This application can run successfully in a window or full screen. You should avoid loading any TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs such as "Billmind" before starting Windows. TSR programs are known to cause problems when loaded before Windows. See page 442 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for information on running TSRs under Windows.

If an MS-DOS application is started and closed from a PIF file without the Close Window On Exit option checked, an inactive application window will remain open. To close an inactive application window, press ALT+SPACEBAR and choose Close from the window control pull-down menu (-).
