Wouldn't you have to rewrite them? I mean they won't fit on the screen. And I would bet that FPD would not run because of it's memory requirements.

Kind of weired when you think about it, when we were making FPD application, we used a system that ran DOS, and had Windows running on top of it - now we have the opposite. We are trying to get a DOS emulation to run in Windows.

Anyway, I just can't see where anyone would want to use this - the best reason I ever saw for using DOS was head down computing - and you can't do that on a handheld device.
