I use a program called TameDos that is really wonderful for *LOTS* of
reasons.  I you run any dos apps at all you need TameDos.  Not only does it
handle polling, but it provides so many other features its hard to list
them all.  It allows you to use truetype fonts in your dos console windows.
 It allows you to use different monospaced fonts than the one used by
Windows.  It allows you to change the colorized appearance of the dos apps
in ways that the dos app itself doesn't allow.  It allows you to scale the
fonts used to display the dos console window so that they are easier to
read on high resolution monitors.

Combining TameDos (cheap at around $20) with the free Dos Replacement Fonts
available from some Scandinavian guy on the web make for a really pleasing
UI improvement as well as performance improvement to the two Dos Apps I use
regularly.
