That is because his executables are DOS executables and not win32
commandline programs. AFAIK win64 dumped the support for 16 bit DOS
programs altogether, I'm surprised the executable could be made to run
anyway. Compiling the source with a Windows compiler should solve that

Technically on Windows NT and up, you don't have a "DOS" window but a
command shell, like Unix tcsh or bash.

I hope so, but this isn't an easy job. I remember it has been discussed
here before.
