You can set up the properties of the executable to prevent the DOS
window from closing automatically when the program is done.  I don't
have a Win95 machine in easy reach so I can't tell you exactly where the
setting is.  However, I believe that if you right click on the program
icon and select the properties menu item, you can look around to find a
check box for something like "close window on exit".  Just set it so the
window doesn't close when the program stops.  That way, you can look at
the end results and close the window when you want to.

The benefit here is that you can do this with _any_ DOS executable
running under Win95/NT.
