Hi, I just got windows a few weeks ago with my new computer (it
came free with the package from the Zeos people) and since I have a
386SX I can multitask non-windows applications using Windows 3.0.
I have found, however that some programs will not be accepted as
non-windows applications.  First of all, I am simply making a 
mistake by using the disk-search application in Windows to find
these programs, or do I need to recopy them to the Windows directory
to get them to work as a non-windows application, or is there some
Windows command I can use.  (I would personally enjoy having F15
Strike Eagle as something just playing in the background.  I would
especially like to be able to multitask between other programs and
the fractal generator I picked up recently.  Basically, pretty
pictures in the background.  Hey, for what I spent on this machine,
I have a right to enjoy every aspect of it.)

Barring this--i.e., some programs just won't run as a Window--what
recommendations do people have for programs that can be used in Windows
as a Non-Windows Application?
