[comp.windows.ms] PIF problem

I am installing Windows on a Z-386/SX. It runs fine, but PIF files don't work
at all. I get the "No association exists for this file" error. I have
installed Windows several times on different machines, and this is the first
time I've run into this. I get the same error with the PIF files generated by
Windows Setup, for Ventura Publisher, and Word 5.5. So, if Windows doesn't
like its own PIF files, how am I supposed to figure out what it wants?

Make sure you have the following line in the WIN.INI, in the [Windows] 
section:

Programs=com exe bat pif

Or windows won't know what to do with pif files.
