ST-DOS is a DOS implementation, but it is not meant to be a clone of MS-DOS. It is mostly syscall-compatible with MS-DOS, but the driver API and many other things are completely different. After all the definition of DOS is just "disk operating system".
All real mode programs that are compiled with Watcom C/C++ should work. The most recent versions of Watcom's protected mode runtime don't currently work, because they use some undocumented MS-DOS syscalls that are not implemented in ST-DOS. I intend to create a compatibility TSR that will solve most issues with those MS-DOS programs.
