- > klsmith@teleport.comThe AppWizard in MSVC Version 1.51 (for Win3.x) has a target option of
- MS-DOS Application. So the answer is yes, MSVC can generate DOS programs.
- You can probably get a much older version of MSVC or a Gnu compiler and
- save yourself lots of money. MSVC++ has loads of stuff to do with
- graphical user interface.
