Many people assume that "DOS is dead" and that "everybody" has upgraded to Windows, but many churches and ministries, especially smaller ones, or those located in less affluent areas of the world, are dependent on "hand-me-down" computers which are not capable of running Windows. Fortunately for these groups, there is still DOS software available, if you know where to look.
