You darn trickster... don't tell me you're running DOS 3.2 even! Hehe

I don't know for certain that PHP will run on a pure DOS system. Maybe
it will, maybe it won't. In any case you can download the Windows
executable (or build it yourself from source, if you feel so brave!)
from php.net. To test if your script will work is the same as I already
stated:

cd\your\php\directory
php.exe -f yourfile.php
cross fingers and pray to whatever god(s) you might believe in. :)
