This doesn't directly answer your question, but I do have some
information about MS DOS 6.22 versus the Windows 95 32 bit DOS, which I
believe was called DOS 7.0.  I was training neural networks using a DOS
program, so I logged a training session using DOS 6.22, then DOS 7.0 on a
computer that had both systems installed.  The training session was 13%
faster on DOS 6.22.  I assume, therefore, that a DOS chess program will
also run faster in DOS 6.22 than DOS 7.0, or whatever the current Windows
98 DOS is called.
