Well... I wanted to look into compiling MS-DOS 4.0 after Microsoft released the sources today.
Looks like it won't compile from scratch because the conversion to git killed some characters and inlined byte-sequences :(

@felsqualle maybe bring it to @shanselman attention. As far as I understand it, he was vital in releasing it to the public. The issue tracker is probably not enabled, is it?

@jason @felsqualle yes, that was a miss and I apologize, we didn’t think about the UTF-8 problem. Someone did already get it to build, however, so it’s confirmed possible, and I’m gonna try to put together a script to fix. I’ll also try to put together a correct zip file in a few weeks.

@shanselman What both you and @starfrost did here is simply amazing, a great piece of history. I was always wondering how different the IBM PC-DOS and MS-DOS builds were - well, now I can see that the differences are really minor thanks to the "IBMCOPYRIGHT" defines. Let's see how long it takes to compile on period-correct emulated hardware.

@shanselman thank you, that’s great to hear!
