I think it's not MS-DOG source code, it's MS-DOG C compilers that usually are to blame. >... what I tried to do was delete all "^M" chars and >all backslashes at the ends of lines. Even this wasn't enough. ^M's shouldn't matter; use something like dos2unix if you want to get rid of them. I don't quite understand the bit about backslashes: do you mean strings like " blah blah blah \ more blah"; or something else?
