The Window System (TWS) (Developers)

The Window System was a GUI framework for djgpp by Malcolm Taylor, written in the mid-90s. I used it for my Mine Mayhem game (Minesweeper clone). Just purely out of curiosity (as I don't expect to ever get back to it) would anyone have the source? I believe the original author lost it, last time I got in contact with him.

Sorry, but no.

And https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/dev/djgpp/current/v2tk/mttws121.zip doesn't have the source code.
