DOS has none of the graphics facilities that things like R, Octave and
Maxima might expect (GNOME, gtk, Qt).  DOS is closer to a bootloader
than a modern OS w/X11 or Win32/Windows API support.  It will take
significant time to get to a graphical OS that supports numerical
packages from DOS.  If you still feel like going down this route, look
at Nano-X/Microwindows with its X11 & Win32 APIs and DOS targets.
There were also Mesa, OpenGL & GRX libraries that support DOS but
folks haven't worked on those in a very long time.
