I have 64-bit Windows 7, and have no problems running older versions of 
filePro.  The only time I get such an error is if I try running an ancient 
MS-DOS version of filePro.  (Or, for that matter, an ancient MS-DOS version 
of any executable I have.)  I don't know if it's a Windows 7 thing, or a 
64-bit Windows thing.  (My 32-bit Windows Vista would still run 16-bit 
MS-DOS apps.)

Is it possible that they are still using an ancient copy of p.exe?  (What's 
the date and size of p.exe?)  What happens if you try running dclerk directly?
