I'm guessing they had to go through the code pretty carefully to make sure they could. I'm seeing embedded PNG, zlib, qt3 and other libraries buried down in there.
It's also interesting they have completely separate windows and mac code bases.

At the time I don’t really think that was uncommon.
I mean, you barely had FOSS portable libraries to base the core functionality on, even before you started tackling platform specific issues.
There were different CPU architectures. Machines back then were completely different, with each type having it’s separate types of HW devices and connectors. Etc etc.
Literally nothing were common between PCs and Macs. I’m not surprised at all.
