     I may test under MS-DOS 6.22. But if your program doesn't deal directly
with disks and doesn't touches OS internal structures and not uses
nondocumented tricks, it shouldn't have any troubles with MS-DOS 6.22 also.

     I have no 8086-80286 at hands.

     I myself prefer not deal with plain executables downloading, I prefer
download archives. And I prefer to unpack into directories, which I want.
Other peoples may heva other preferences.
