Can WINE be made for DOS using GCC for DOS?

[Jeroen Janssen]

Hi,

For those interested, I remember there is this thing called 'wdosx' ( 
http://michael.tippach.bei.t-online.de/wdosx/ ), that is a DOS eXtender 
containing a stubbed subset of the WIN32 API.

 From the README.TXT:

"Probably the most advanced feature of WDOSX  is its emulation of a 
subset of the Win32 API, making it work  with compilers that were not 
originally designed to create 32 bit DOS programs.

  As of current, the  following Win32 API functions  are emulated by 
WDOSX, either completely, in parts or as stubs:

  (Note: This table is a bit out of date and reflects the status of WDOSX
  0.95. I've got more important things to do at the moment.)
