MS-DOS has more: over 4000 files and over 60 MB of source and tools only for the "leaked" part (subdirectories starting with A to I - the full list is probably about thrice as big, assuming that the starting letters of subdirectories are evenly distributed).

Not surprisingly, Microsfot used only their own tools - MSC, MASM, SED and some other utilities.

> EMM386 is all in assembler.

Also for MS-DOS.
