DOS programs are legacy and specific. They are designed specifically to run on DOS. The computer needs the appropriate DOS drivers behind the windows somewhere, AND that the windows OS will allow the user to access those drivers. Then, it can be jury-rigged to work. Without it, it won't work, period. The only thing you can do at that point is use a DOS emulator, which is slow and clunky.
I cut my computer teeth on BASIC programming, and spent several years working primarily with DOS. I was heartbroken when they removed DOS from windows. There are just some things that flat out won't work without it.
