Well, it seems to me too that it will take quite a good while to happen, if it happens at all. I see the Calibre source code requires a number of dependency projects to build and run --- not just Qt, but also Python, and SQLite, and perhaps others. So one will either need to get all these dependencies working under MS-DOS --- and these are rather huge dependencies, not small pieces of code --- or, at least, to find suitable replacements for some of them. It seems that there is a port of Python 2.4.2 to MS-DOS on 32-bit systems (http://www.caddit.net/pythond/), so that _might_ be a place to start for porting the software over. But even then, there will still be a lot of work left to do. As far as I know, Qt does not yet support MS-DOS (for either 16-bit or 32-bit systems).
