Comparing a computer language with an operating system or device driver
is wandering off track. Expecting an ancient DOS program to run under
the latest version of Windows is unrealistic. I would, however, expect
a DOS program to run under *any* version of DOS just as I would expect
PHP code that I wrote last year to run under next year's version of
PHP.
