How about making DOS a Windows application, rather than making
Windows a DOS application?  :-)

Anyhoo, I'll second what this poster has to say.  An alternative might
be to break up the win.ini file- I'd prefer to see the win.ini file
contain only parameters for applications (kind of like an .xresourcerc
or .Xdefaults file under X-windows), and have driver/basic Windows
stuff in another file (not to be confused with system.ini :-) ).
