Do you mean, that your MEM shouldn't be runned under other OSes or that
Windows never will be runned under FreeDOS?

I don't think that _this_ compatability is important - in this case
conveniency shoul outweight "compatability".

Hm. Interesting reason. Of course, its depends (that there will not
defined more variables or some will not undefined). May be, I duplicate this
behavior in my MEM.

If this is one reason, then I will not duplicate this behavior. What
gives _this_ compatability beside unconveniency (by extra lines in report)?
