Obviously, they support a LOT of platforms (including Win64), so DOS is not a huge priority to them, for whatever reason (lack of time or developers, probably, but maybe not). Whatever, they are still to be applauded for their accomplishments. Very impressive, IMO. (I like compilers, heh.)

Sometimes I wonder if people avoid DOS because either they want everyone to (have to) use GNU/Linux or they think DOS always means MS-DOS (and hate it because of them). I mean, FreeDOS is more "free" than any Windows, and yet people always port stuff to Windows and not nearly as much to DOS (though we ain't truly forgotten, just overlooked). :-|
