Without going to a lot of trouble, would you know if that last sentence is correct? If it is, I'll just move on. But, if there's a simple way to vile run on DOS, that would be handy.

I don't know offhand, but will look and see if I can find the answer.

I don't see anything explicit in cswdpmi, however vile does use floating
point.  Google reminds me that you can use emu386.exe for this - hth
