DOS ain't dead

cl (Miscellaneous)

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft C for MSDOS was called cl.exe, the same as Visual Studio today.

At the time that kernel32.dll was created, presumably circa 1994, did cl.exe target both Win32 and MSDOS, or were they separate compilers?

If the former, was a switch used? If a switch was used, what was the default, and is that switch still accepted today (2021)?

Asking for a friend.

Thanks. Paul.
