Yeah!!!
And SmartDrv is included as well!!!
Even better, Tools MS C 5.1 and Masm 5.1 aren't missing, so there should be no problems to create the binaries!!!
And the best at last: the linker ( MS overlay linker v3.65 ) even suffers from the infamous "packed file is corrupt"-A20-Gate-EXEPACK-error!!!

The good old times...

* "...so there should be no problems to create the binaries": may be true - if you can overcome the fact that the source files are all LF only, while the good old MS-DOS tools from the 80ties stubbornly persist on CR/LF line endings.

MS-DOS forever!
