Confusion? What would DOS (the operating system) have to do with SOURCE
CODE files? It's the compiler's job and the link editor's job to turn
that source code into an executable for running on some specific (these
days generic) hardware under some specific operating system.
Thus if I had a program written in c that was once compiled and linked
to run under DOS I would expect to be able to compile and link that
program to run under the machine I now have (using the c compiler on my
machine) and it should work just fine.
