I've seen it work on drdos 7 & the win 98 'reboot' to dos. Should I
assume it works on all other dos versions still in use? Seen it work on
a 486. Should I assume it works on anything less, or is there so little
left of the 386, I shouldnt worry.

Should I bother with trying to setup a self extracting archive that
would create a directory and install in it, or just make a .zip
available assuming that anyone who still runs dos knows what to do?
