I run a small company and those decisions are very difficult to make. But
the plain fact remains, we are in business to stay in business and the
little guys unfortunately get the squeeze. So is it worth all the effort to
force backward compatibilty to DOS, I can't say.

But what it does allow are third party development opportunities which some
of you might undertake (if DOS is your passion). Many companies do fine
writing programs that the big guys have abandoned.
