Right. It still has it's uses. It is quite good as a launch pad for an 
embedded device on a 16-bit processor, since it doesn't get into the way of 
the application. There are still people who have a use for some kind of DOS 
operating system, otherwise the FreeDOS project would be dead by now.

For those who are looking for a 16bit compiler better have a look at the 
FreeDOS project.

Groetjes,
