"Native".  By which you mean "Win32".  That's different from "DOS": try
running that on a DOS 6.2 or FreeDOS booted machine; I suspect you'll
find it doesn't work.

(ObRant: the native platform for filePro was Unix, long before an MS-Win port
existed; "Native" was a poor choice of name there.  Yeah, yeah,
TRS-DOS; rada rada; probably still have some floppies around)
