If your DOS programs use any of these routines:

tick_rate, graphics_mode, palette, all_palette, get_all_palette,
get_active_page, set_active_page, get_display_page, set_display_page,
sound, pixel, get_pixel, draw_line, polygon, ellipse, save_screen, save_image,
display_image, dos_interrupt, allocate_low, free_low, get_vector, set_vector,
lock_memory, use_vesa, get_mouse, mouse_events, mouse_pointer

then it wont work as many of these routines probably use DOS interrupts
internally.

So to answer your question: No, some DOS Euphoria programs wont work.
