Al, as long as your DOS (.ex) programs dont use any DOS specific routines, they
should run fine on the public domain interpreter bound with the standalone
Windows Euphoria backend (backendw.exe).

However I would actually use the Euphoria to C translator in this case because
the PD source interpreter runs VERY slow intepreted or bound.
