I have currently installed NT 4.0 workstation on a PC running Win95.
When I select MS-DOS on the start up menu the  PC hangs and does not
go into Win 95, the NT 4.0 works fine.  Can some recommend the correct
remedy to cure this problem

I had experienced the same problem.
Try to remove some driver from the autoexec and config.
In my case worked, hope it does also in your case.
Cheers.

I had problems with NT4/Win95 setup - Win95 chaged the COM port settings
etc.

Last week I went to a seminar on NT4 installation, and was told that under
no circumstances should you install NT4 & Win95 on the same system. Other
people at the seminar had also had problems - usually works OK under NT,
but Win95 then detects 'new hardware' and needs to be reset. This appears
to be a particular problem with Plug and Play cards.

I have been running Win95/NT 4.0 Workstation in a dual boot
configuration for a while now with no problems.  You need to install Win
95 first and then NT.  Then on bootup, you can choose between Win 95 or
NT!

Or if you have NT installed first you can install 95 then use the NT
emergency repair disk to reinstall the master boot record. Remember
that 95 can't see NTFS partitions nor NT see FAT32.
