	I do not have 16 bit Windows executables at hand for testing, so
I do not really know, it file command detects dos correctly. 
	But this particular file listing has SM.EXE and SM.PIF. Which
strongly suggests, that SM.EXE is dos program (because PIF file WIndows
configuration file for DOS VM used to execute that executable).
