Even though your application is non-standard, since it runs on
a PC 6300 it will very likely run on a PC 6300 PLUS that is
used as an MS-DOS-only machine.  If it runs, its performance
will certainly be better on the PLUS.  It is possible that it will
also run on the PLUS under Simul-Task.  In either case, you 
really need to test it to make sure.
