No the dos program will work under NT it just wouldn't run at full speed and
have access to your sound card.
But then again a dos accounts program will but little pressure on a NT
machine. As for a 486 with 16mb that's not really a minimum specification
for a NT machine. You don't play games so thats fine, you'll need to
upgrade your machine for either NT or 98 so really the balls in your court
so to speak.
I'd personally go for a partial move to NT and have it duel boot with
Dos6.22. One advantage I have found with NT is that problems get ironed out
of the system much more quickly than 95 the reason being that NT's
Microsofts business future and they have to push it hard and make it work.
So far Win95 has had a couple of minor service packs, where as WinNT4 has
had three and the last one Service pack 3 totaled about 50mb, of fixes and
tune-ups. Now thats what I call support........
