Sure, I think that lot's of people are still interested in dos app's.  Of
course a DOS word processor or drawing program would rather usless, without
the modern 'dynamic data exchange'.  I think that if you are planning games,
or anyting geared to more advanced users that is processor intensive DOS is
still great.

PS: I STILL don't like DirectX as, no matter how fast they say it is, it
can's compete with dos, not even with a dos box running full screen under
win95!
