I did wonder about this; I'm fairly sure that in principle, so long as
only the standard mmedia calls are made, one could do a DOS/Win3.1
commandline build with the current sources. It might be a long haul, but
I could have a go with our Symantec compiler, which has a royalty-free
DOS-extender - we ue it for the DOS release of our CDP programs. My main
fear is having to sort out problems with the conditional compilation
directives!
