This probably means that Microsoft still needs chkdsk to run from
Windows-aware programs, since otherwise it won't run from the DOS box
either.  What we need is to understand how do they differentiate
between the different programs.  It would be interesting to see what
happens when you compile that trivial 5-liner with a real-mode DOS
compiler such as Turbo C and then run it from the DOS box on Windows
95.
