ex.exe runs fine (dosint.ex says DOS Version: 5.0). The problem with Vista
is that DOS fullscreen mode doesn't work, so a lot of the demos would not
work! Well, there are workarounds, but it's a pain. I'm going to download
DOSBox (DOS emulator) and see if that works, but it's not best case.
You would have to provide DOSBox to your end-users if they wanted to run
fullscreen DOS apps in Vista.

DOSBox is at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1.
