The Windows version of filePro should have a Windows version of p.exe, which 
should work just fine.

If it used to work, and you didn't change Windows from 32-bit to 64-bit, 
then you must have a Windows version of p.exe which you used to run, in 
addition to an MS-DOS version which for some reason is being run now.

When I get the "64-bit incompatibility" error, it gives me the full path to 
the executable.  Does the path it gives you make sense?  Is it finding p.exe 
in the location you expected?  What is the size of that p.exe file?
