If you try to save a PIF file and get the error message
Cannot create PIF file
check the pathname entry in the Program Name field to be sure that the directory specified already exists. The Windows PIF Editor (PIFEDIT.EXE) requires that the directory specified in this field be created before the PIF file can be saved.
