I don't want to be negative, but this is a message board for DJGGP-specific
 questions, lots of the people here probably don't even use dos! (i do, but
 that's beside the point).  Please try a DOS message board.  Thanx...

BTW, for your question, win95 can and will (or should) run all dos programs (I
 am 99.98% sure of this, but don't blame be if i'm wrong).  In some cases, some
 program might need to be run in dos mode (not a dos-window).  Your problem
 could be from something else such as share.exe, ansi.sys etc... look at the
 documentation, they usually have trouble-shooting...

P.S. What is GEOS?

And, Windows95 Sucks :)
