That's all things I honestly don't know how to define except by a PIF I just wondered if the PIF structure might be that simple that I could aim to figure out how to create one using Autoit3 on my own. Well, it's not really a simple file structure:. Looks I'm the only one asking for that outdated stuff? In Win98SE for example, when you drag-drop a. BAT file and choose "Create a Link" in deed a.

Safe to say the instructions are quite old. A PIF file is a shortcut in Windows 7. If I remember correctly Turbo Pascal is a DOS based program so you would need to configure the shortcut appropriately. I would recommend posting your question to the Windows 7 Application Compatibility forum. They should be able to help you with the shortcut configuration. Yes it would have to be 32 bit windows only, since 64 bit windows does not have the 16 bit MSDOS subsystem emulation. I do have Windows 7 and I downloaded Turbo Pascal.

Its instructions say that I need to create a. PIF file. So my question is: how? It's for XP but might work in W7 - I think it has to be 32 bit version. Not really sure since I don't have W7. Keep in mind trying to get DOS if you could still find a copy installed on a modern PC is likely impossible due to the very very different hardware of todays computers that DOS has no knowledge of at all.
