Selecting DOS is the best. AFAIK the difference between selecting DOS and
windoze is that when windoze is selected the zip-picker doesn't recommend
cwsdpmi.zip which contains the DPMI server which is necessary to run
programs in environments that do not provide DPMI support like DOS.
Windoze has it's own DPMI server therefore it is not necessary to have
cwsdpmi.zip installed.

So if you are going to program in DOS please select DOS as otherwise you
may not get cwsdpmi without which you might not be able to run DJGPP
programs in native DOS.
