PIF use and manipulation

Comment:
I would like to know when and how to use the PIF feature of Windows for Workgroups 3.11. I may try doing a search online for info, but I really value the direct input of a person I can contact if necessary over reading something posted online. Please respond if you are willing to help.

Pif editing made simple...
1. Select full screen or window. (if your choice is full screen, you don't need a pif)
2. Select the resources your program wants. (what it wants and what it gets aren't necessarily the same)
3. If it won't run in text mode, you probably don't want to run it in a window. Why? Because a window has to share resources and they vary depending on what other apps you have open at the time.
I know you'd like more, but I'm not the "Great PIF Guru", sorry.
