MS releases vintage DOS source code
Not directly relevant to us as DOS got outsourced to dosbox but here it is nevertheless: http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/microsoft-ms-dos-2-0-source-code/ If they keep releasing the source roughly 30 years after the OS hit the market, then Windows 3.11 is still 10 years out. bye michael
The more interesting thing is the MS Word for Windows 2.x. It would be amusing if someone did a 32bit port as a winelib app. On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Michael Stefaniuc <mstefani(a)redhat.com>wrote:

word 2.x was a 16bit program. Word 6.x was also 16bit. Word95 was the first 32bit AFAIK. Somehow I doubt a port to 32bit would be trivial... On 03/27/14 21:25, Steven Edwards wrote:
