[dba-Tech] MS DOS 1.1, MS DOS 2. 0 and MS Word for Windows 1.1 source code is opened for public

 Hi Jim --

Microsoft is known to have their (MS Office pack - MS Access, MS Word, MS Excel, ...) software rewritten completely from scratch several times. I doubt there are any "remainings" of MS Word for Windows 1.1 in MS Word 2013. And AFAIU MS Word 2013 has two rather different implementations:

- desktop (C/C++, assembler ?) and 
- web (HTML, CSS, JavaScript on client side, C/C+, ... on server side)
