This is no manual, but a list of random notes.

Two notes about your notes there:
1) "Windows" version seems NOT to use SDL
"Seems" is wrong here, because it definitely doesn't use SDL in default build. But you can always build your own SDL-based binary using MSVC or MinGW.

2) Has to be configured using console mode dialogs
This is not required. You can use your favourite ASCII editor to write a config file manually.

But you are aware of MS-DOG 7.10?

DOS 7.10 from Windows 98 is very common. Ask Japheth, IIRC.
