Hi,
Although we have maintained that we would accept any port if there was a
volunteer, I personally can't see a DOS port being feasible or
worthwhile. At the moment the most stable part of the new API are the
event and input subsystems (and has been the only parts of the API
"done" for far too long). You can check out an example of how it's to
be used in exnew_events.c example in the SVN repository. If you have an
idea of how to implement those in DOS then please post your idea and
we'll discuss it.

PPS. For other developers, I meant to release 4.3.1 by now but am a bit
occupied with a new job. I'll try to do it this weekend.
