Andre da Costa told you how to get your program to run. For your other
questions:
There is no DOS in Vista, any more than there was in XP. There is a
32-bit command console (I suppose it's a 64-bit console in 64-bit
Vista). Command-line programs run there, but they can do anything a
GUI Windows program can do, including opening windows. Most 16-bit DOS
programs will run in the 32-bit console (I think 16-bit support is
gone in the 64-bit OS). DOS programs that try to access hardware
directly - which was legal in DOS - will not run in XP or Vista.
