I have to disagree here. I still prefer to get DOS executables where I can;
crashes are less harmful to my system. DirectX has a strong tendency to
leave my programs thinking the screen is smaller than it really is, for
example.

Don't worry, though; I'm not trying to argue the case for implementing the
close hook in DOS; I'm just flaming Microsoft.

Let's drop the discussion about the meaning of the word 'unnecessary' now,
shall we? :-)

OK, so it's agreed that we're not implementing the close hook in DOS. I
never contested that. However, I fail to believe people are so against
changing the docs to avoid the type of discussion that *has* just
happened...
