No, it was Windows.

No.  Stepping with a debugger into the code to see that it enters the 
special branch which deals with this should be enough.

However, if there's no reasonable way to run this in DOS, I don't think 
you should bother testing it, as no user will ever be able to see that 
code in action.  So just forget about it.
