We have moved on from the DOS environment, but we recognize that many people still develop and have a programming interest in 16-bit and 32-bit DOS. The best way we can support users of our previously commercial software, as well as others with an interest in what our software does, is to get it out in the public eye where everyone has a chance to use, study, and customize the source code, rather than depending on our, admittedly, shrinking interest in working on the source ourselves. Plus the source code, warts and all, still contains useful ideas and code routines or fragments for those who write assembly language code.
