Which is better, DOS or uvision?

I recently inherited a pile of software from another division.
The code was developed several years ago using only DOS.
I am curious to know if I will hurt myself in anyway by using the GUI IDE. uvision 1.13
The files were originally developed using ver 4 of the compiler, L51, and Symantec smake.
Additionally, where could I look to find info on smake?

I do appreciate any suggestions....

    and Win9x - so that'd be a problem if you need 16-bit?

    "the editor in uVision is weak"
    true, but then it's probably as well that Keil concentrate on their Core Competence (Compilers, etc) rather than re-invent the Editor wheel (which is extremely well developed in the likes of CodeWright).

    "it [uVision] is my "make" utility only, I never use it for editing."

    do you use it for debugging?
