Isn't the DOS/DPMI version only recommended for Win9x? I'm not saying in theory that DOS stuff shouldn't run well on 32-bit Windows, but I know from experience that Vista has many DOS bugs (even some that XP doesn't) that they refuse to fix (!), so I don't see any point in trying to run overly ambitious DOS/DPMI apps on it. Dare I say it, maybe he should just "push out" the release as a "normal beta" and get feedback that way. (Argh, I've procrastinated updating my DOS machines too, heh, still have ye olde latest NDN archive sitting in my temp dir.)
