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.
