Has anyone seen the source code of OpenWatcom? It would be more difficult to get rid of dos code than to keep it.
There are a lot of nice things in it like a windowing library that allows you to make windows32/16 gui, windows console, DOS32 and OS/2 windowed applications from the same code. For example debugger and installer use those libraries, so dos, win and OS/2 versions build from the same source.
Really nice things, just not commented and documented (at all).
