1. DOS32 only install. Where?
I have a really really really old laptop.
486 - Windows 3.10 - maybe 4Mb RAM
300Mb HDD
I tend to develop for DOS only.
Mostly libs of one type or another.
I shouldn't have to manually copy the files from a Windows
install to get my wittle bitty DOS install.

I gave up on the old DOS installer after 2.3.
It's too much trouble to build and test two different
install packages, just so the 1% of people still using
pre-Win95 machines won't have to copy the EUPHORIA
directory from a newer machine.

That's silly! A plain zip file of Euphoria is too much?? Granted, to download
the file, they'd almost certainly have win3 or more, but some people still use
a Commodore 64 to do web browsing!

Or Mac - whatever. By now, anyone who uses plain DOS will not be deterred
by having to unzip some files and set up autoexec.bat. The DOS installer
was never really necessary, just a nice touch.
