It looks that FORCEDOS is present even in NT 4.  However, its built-in 
docs is minimal.  I understand that you use it to run DOS programs like 
this:

	FORCEDOS [/D dir] program [args...]

where `dir' is the directory to run `program' in;
      `args' are the arguments to pass to the program.

I don't see any description about what FORCEDOS does, though.  Anybody?
