No. I am using a DJGPP compiled version of Emacs 19.28 in a DOS-window
with Win'95 - works just fine. Win'05 provides DOS clients with DPMI
services (just like Win 3.x), so everything should work OK.

My only quibble is that the Taskbar reports the name of the running
program as "GO32" instead of e.g. "emacs". I suppose that is because
go32 is executed by the stub loader, without Win'95 noticing.
