Possibly, but it has been three years since Windows 95. DOS is basically
considered a dead platform, and should only be used for simple programs...
Even Quake II and most other major games are now written for DirectX, so
most major applications are no longer written in DOS.

Furthermore, any simple DOS apps for calculators (level editor, calculator
transfer program, etc) should be 80x86 compatible, since these utilities
don't need the power of a 32-bit c compiler, and not everyone has a 386 or
above.

Integrated Development Environments are usually more advanced and should be
written for Win32 platforms.
