While we are at it, taking polls, let's start another. Do you use DOS only programs? By this I mean true DOS programs, not just console programs that can be run with exwc.exe. For instance, ed.ex is not a DOS program, it is a console program. LangWars is a DOS program, it runs only in DOS or DOS mode (Windows 9x, 2000, XP). Now as a side note, DOS mode is not available on Windows Vista and up, thus programs like LangWars no longer function.
We are not taking this poll to determine anything about dropping or keeping DOS support. It's more just out of curiosity as the discussion has come up multiple times on the dev list about how many people use the DOS only features of Euphoria and no one really knows.

I use them when I am in DOS ... but this is rare. (I am usually only in DOS to support the DOS support in Eu, in fact.)
