So, the safe assumption is fpc-compiled programs should run smoothly in 
at least MS-DOS 5.0. Thanks for the info.

No, I won't use such old MS-DOS version, but it always good to let users know 
the minimum requirements.

Actually, I've been creating cross-platform libraries for my future programs. 
For MS-DOS, I will test the libraries in MS-DOS 5.0 as you suggest, and I will

your valuable time.
