His is pretty cool, basically he took the dos portions of heritic and hexen and merged in as much as he could to get a more ‘pure’ watcom port. The guy who ultimately ‘cleaned’ doom to get us the 1.10 GPL version made all kinds of weird and confusing changes to the source.

I found the go32 v1 stuff interesting as a totally unpopular target challenge, trying to find and look for more weird platform issues, much like going to the x68000.

I’d love to get a proper handle on either GDI or WING on Win32, as it’d be awesome to do a WIN386 or Win32s source port. Sure it’s 100% useless, but a Watcom WIN386 on Windows 3.0 would be retro cool.

Though I couldn’t figure out how to download the correct source repo (as it seemed to not be latest and missing things). I’m no pro, but I can see some obvious makefile improvements already.

It would be interesting, to me, to rebuild that with more recent DJGPPs, e.g. anything from v2. (Of course, I also want to bootstrap GCC 2.7.2.3 one of these days, and other related build tools, in pure DOS. Crazy, I know.)
