You wanted the easiest solution, right?  :-)  As David Nugent pointed out,
in order the for executable to be effectively one program and *still* work
under both environments requires too much work (unless your intended
audience is a lucrative one).

 SP> The idea was to share as much code as possible.

You can still do that at the source code level (abstracting all the user
interface things away from the rest of the application), but at the
execution level things get a little tougher.  Perhaps you could experiment
with using the "DOS App" and "Windows App" areas to
hold user interface code, whilst the rest of the application's
"grunt" comes from an external .DLL and/or overlay file that
could be shared between the two .. always something to experiement with.. .
