Several of the programs I try to run on my "classic dos" machine give
the error message:
<filepath\filename>:not coff (check for viruses)
I don't yet have a virus scanner, but these files were downloaded from
trusted sources
I don't think I have a virus. What is this error message?

One of the instances I where I got this was I was trying "Seal" a
GUI written by the people who also put out freeDOS
http://www.freedos.org/
And it says at the seal download site that it runs under other DOSses

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...
