As Eric mentioned, FLTK is cross-platform, it can be used with Linux, Windows, Apple MAC plus my port for DOS.
So if you develop applications with FLTK for DOS these can easily be ported to Linux, Windows and MAC. This will provide a larger user base for an application than if it would run on DOS only.
