IIRC, they *are* EXEs
Hold on, I'll check......
Yep, confirmed.
I copied one of the W95 .SCR files to a:\ with .EXE as the extension.
[OPENDOS 7.01] C:\>sf.exe -lhstwa a:\*.exe
Listing directory: A:\
Name mask: *.EXE
3DFLOW~1.EXE 96784 1-08-1997 14:18:20 --------
Sub-Directories: 0
96784 bytes used in 1 files.
This is what happens when we try to run it at the DOS prompt.
[OPENDOS 7.01] C:\>a:\3dflow~1
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
