I don't think this is relevant to the problem at hand.  MS-DOS also
doesn't have any protected mode operation, but DJGPP programs still
run on MS-DOS, because CWSDPMI adds that capability to MS-DOS.  On
Linux, the DPMI services needed by DJGPP programs are supplied by
DOSEmu, so FreeDOS shouldn't be the problem.
