Ok. My turn. :) This statement on the webpage is "not entirely 
accurate".

There is a DOS maintainer, but unfortunately I haven't had much spare 
time to work on that further. My latest tests were quite successful, 
the "only" problem still is that you can't debug inside the IDE, it 
still crashes due to - well, let me put it this way - interesting 
reasons.

Demo programs and that stuff compiled and ran fine as far (there were 
some problems with the DOS specific mouse support, though, but the 
portable units worked).

I hope, once things are a little bit settled at work, I will have more 
time to work on a real release quality version.
