Good point ... however, I expect it's COMMAND.COM that is finding
the mismatch. Windoze should not care what executable you wish to
run, it probably has no way of knowing how appropriate the executable
may be. The COMMAND.COM OTOH, will probably look for a "suitable"
kernel (ie. DR-DOS 7.05) before it will run ...
