I like it too, and I could not work without it (I mean it would take me some
time to adapt all my tools).

As a matter of facts, Chess Tiger and Gambit Tiger are STILL developped under
DOS at this time. My everyday work is done under DOS with the free GCC compiler
(version 2.7.2 of the DJGPP adaptation of GCC, it's a rather old version) and
the excellent RHIDE interface (editor/compiler/debugger).

When I have an interesting version, I compile it to a Windows DLL with the MS VC
6 compiler.

But the REAL Chess Tiger is a DOS program.
