Hi,

        Not quite the same thing!
If the hunters were transported to our surroundings, and used their
 flint arrow heads, then that would be an anochronism, but it
is not one in their familiar, primitive environment.

        Using DOS today is not an anochronism, as i, and
many, many more computer users, both visually impaired and sighted, use
DOS as well as Windows.  Their use being a marriage of vconvenience, which
will remain for many years one of lasting satisfaction.
Regards.
