Wrong, because he said


The major problem would be to port Glib and GTK+ to MS-DOS.
Near impossible AFAICS.


and, although Tethereal doesn't use GTK+, it *does* use GLib.
Note that any such port will not work in "small mode" or whatever the mode is that has 16-bit integers and pointers.
Note also that current versions of Ethereal/Tethereal require compiler support for *64-bit* integers; I don't know whether any DOS compilers have that. It also assumes that a 32-bit integer can be printed with "%d"/"%u"/"%o"/"%x", rather than requiring "%l{d,o.u.x}".
