It is plain an d simple Intel/MASM 8086 assembler code, so that is not a problem. However, even though I had only a cursory look over it yesterday, it seems to be missing some macro files in order to recompile/reassemble.

But still, nobody should get their knickers in a twist just yet, as it is an older version of GW-BASIC from 1983, while the latest version (3.23) is from 1988. And the license kind of disallows to re-use the code from the files, similar to that of the DOS 1.x/2.0 source they published last year...
