Yes, it does. It is what I use (and I don't have X installed)

Just to warn you, the (original) uninstaller doesn't remove _all_ registry
keys (on W2K), so the 'rxvt here' on the menu doesn't go away. I sent Gerrit
an 'update' a while ago which fixed that (but also had some other errors
which I have since fixed). Gerrit may or may not have updated the
distribution...
 The update also allowed you to install (and uninstall) multiple command
shells with the same install package. 

Dave.
