  Help, please.

  I'm a novice Windows 3.0 user.  I've managed to acquire a few
  Windows applications from an anonymous FTP site, but they refuse
  to run.  They exit after producing a message like:
	This program requires Microsoft Windows

  I have created PIF files for them using the PIF editor, which
  are cloned from an existing PIF file.  I've tried defining them
  as program items in different windows, and have tweaked the
  settings which had suggestive names, to no avail.

  Could someone offer some suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?


  Thanks,
