Yes. And in his editor README he explains why he has to use Borland C++

>I wrote the editor for 16-bit DOS because I thought there would be significant troubles trying to mix 16-bit interrupt callbacks with 32-bit protected-mode code. Also I don’t think I knew back then, that DJGPP has been as modernized as it indeed has. If it even was. So I used Borland C++ 3.1.

>This compiler by Borland was created before C++ was standardized, and it required me to make many sacrifices about style / sanity in the source code. For example, it did not support namespaces or templates. No STL! As such, the code is not representative of good programming practices for C++ programming, not by a long shot.
