That is not completely sure.

Of course it isn't.

If it was, no mailer did ever run on an original IBM PC, but I seem to recall that it was quite a popular computer in the early Fidonet years (mine included).

And I've patched quite a few abandonware FTN programs in my days using the 8-bit DOS program DEBUG.COM to know for sure.
