 * Problems running DOS programs on Windows NT versions earlier than 3.51.  
   
 Some DOS programs, such as pkzip/pkunzip will not work at all, while  
 others will only work if their stdin is redirected from a file or NUL.  
   
 When a DOS program does not work, a new process is actually created, but  
 hangs.  It cannot be interrupted from Emacs, and might need to be killed  
 by an external program if Emacs is hung waiting for the process to  
 finish.  If Emacs is not waiting for it, you should be able to kill the  
 instance of ntvdm that is running the hung process from Emacs, if you  
 can find out the process id.  
   
 It is safe to run most DOS programs using call-process (eg. M-! and  
 M-|) since stdin is then redirected from a file, but not with  
 start-process since that redirects stdin to a pipe.  Also, running DOS  
 programs in a shell buffer prompt without redirecting stdin does not  
 work.
