Further clarification...
It works if the icon is set up to restart Windows 95 to DOS to
run this DOS program.
But not if you have "options VM86" in the kernel.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
