'Couple of things I think Endgamer deserves to hear:
1.  If narrow-sense MS-DOS interests you, Python
    still has a lot to offer you.  I don't know
    of anyone building MS-DOS versions from re-
    cent Python releases, and I'm not current
    with what the possibilities are.  However,
    I use a version 1.epsilon port to MS-DOS,
    and am thoroughly satisfied with it.  More
    details available, if it matters.
2.  I suspect Mr. Ahlstrom doesn't work in
    Marketing.  To write that "Python on ...
    Win95 works the same as on Unix" seriously
    undersells what the Py-on-Win* folks have
    accomplished.  It speaks COM!  It knows the
    registry!  Multiple GUI toolkits are well-
    supported!

    I summarize:  Win*!Python does what you want.
    Give it a look.
