Is there a book or article that explains techniques of porting stuff from
UNIX to DOS. I'm working with an 80386 MSDOS system.

The immediate problem I have is getting cweave and ctangle to work
on the 80386 MSDOS system. I obtained the source from labarea.stanford.edu
and downloaded it. I was able to compile it with no difficulty but
when I try to run them on the demo files wc.w, treeprint.w, wmerge.w
I get error messages about /dev/null. That sounds like UNIX talk to me
and I am wondering what the corresponding DOS talk would be.
