Several of the programs I try to run on my "classic dos" machine give

I don't think I have a virus. What is this error message?

Thanks, I saw that. It only defines COFF. No hints as to what I need
to make DOS 6.22 run the thing.
Is it possible someone's built these things using a Windows compiler and
it's that which is screwing things up? Maybe they'll work quite happily
in a DOS shell within Windows, but not on a standalone DOS system...
