As far as I can tell it's the DOS version, there is nothing indicating it is 
Windows Native.  However, I dug up a floppy and a MS-DOS 6.22 image and 
booted the laptop straight into DOS with the LORD files on the disk as well. 
DOSEMU or the actual old DOS we used to use all the time, the game won't work 
on either.

I bin diffed the exe's from gameport and from lordlegacy, same files on both. 
If you read the README.NOW file it says verbatim: "Type LOCAL from DOS, node 
0 has been pre-defined as a local node."  Well this puppy isn't going 
anywhere in DOS, and if it can't run on MS-DOS 6.22 then it's a WinDOS program 
not a DOS program AFAIK.  What the NT based versions of windows run may be 
able to handle DOS programs but from the purist standpoint (and a lot of the 
babble I've heard from guys working on OpenDOS and FreeDOS) it's not really 
DOS.

The publicly available version of 4.07 may be called the DOS version but it 
won't run on it.
