1. Best DOS version for Euphoria

Hello out there.
Can anyone please tell me which DOS version outside of Windows is best
for Euphoria? Can I develop GUI apps in this version just like in
Windows? My hardware platform will have no Windows OS, just pure DOS the
way it used to be in the old days.
Thanks to anyone and everyone who will respond to me.

6.22 would be best.
You can write GUI apps, but they won't be just like Windows.
The closest in appearance, IMHO, is my GUI for DOS, with
a Borland look.
Jiri Babor has written a DOS GUI with a slightly different look.
Also Andrew Greenwood and several others. Search for
GUI FOR DOS at http://rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm
Now, none of these are complete with all the goodies that
you expect from Windows apps. Mine lacks, among other things,
listboxes. However, I was just working on adding those.
Another warning - my library (and probably some of the others as well) were
written a long time ago, and haven't been updated to work
with the latest version of Euphoria. If you try mine, and have
problems getting it to run, e-mail me, I'll send you a patch.

Should I be interested in replicating Windows, I'd set aside a few zillion
hours to study the kde sources...

I suppose MS-DOS 6.2 (the latest separate from Win)

Yes, you can. You use dos32lib,
which emulates GUI with text mode.

Why only MS DOS 6.2 (the last version was 6.22)? There are some more DOS
versions (like open source Caldera 7.0x).
Here is some information about other DOSs:
