Hi Rob,

  >>What about setting up how DOS apps run? Won't pifs be useful for that?

PIF files are used by the 16-bit layer for running 16-bit apps, but not
necessary in most cases, pretty much the same as on Win 3.x.

  >>Or is there (will there be) a newer way to set up this stuff?
  Specifically, EMS and XMS memory availability, runs in background,
  maybe priority level...

PIF files will not be necessary for 32-bit console apps and will not be looked
at by the system.  I am not aware of a ".PIF type" of information file that
will allow the capabilities you mentioned.
