Indeed, we certainly expected an interest in the DOS version precisely because
of this issue (generating applications that can run across Win 3.1/DOS, Win95,
and NT) and that is indeed why we maintained and supported the DOS version
for a while, but in fact no such interest every materialized. Not even one
customer expressed interest in the DOS version for this purpose, which is
why support was dropped. The only interest that was ever shown was for
students running old machines.
