Yes it ran on DOS, in fact that was where it started out, with bits lifted from the Linux Kernel of the time.
The XT linux version I was looking at was based on the project mentioned here: http://groups.google.co.nz/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=4ngsi3INNd15%40seurat.syd.dit.csiro.au&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%252Blinux%2B%252Bxt%2B%252Bka9q%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D4ngsi3INNd15%2540seurat.syd.dit.csiro.au%26rnum%3D4
