Well in that case you probably want a DJGPP style port of the original catgets library. DOS is not Unix like - it is the strength of DOS that it is NOT Unix actually - but GNUish things like DJGPP, MinGW and CygWin are available for platforms including DOS for those who do want to do things "the Unix way". And they are welcome to use them, as long as they do not want the DOS kernel to implement the Linux kernel ;-) I myself will probably continue using kitten for DOS specific apps, simply because it is a small and lightweight i18n tool that fits in the style of DOS and because the small DOS specific apps need little Unix portability.
