Certainly not if it was multi-platform, it was hard enough getting things to run on PC-DOS, MS-DOS and DR-DOS on a common hardware base
Not all projects were big manpower-wise tho', we did some pretty cool stuff with small teams. In one case with 2 guys in Bangalore, 3-5 in Singapore and 3 in Honolulu on a patient monitoring system. There were no frequent flyer points then, if there had of been I'd still have some in the bank
The first Moscow Stock Exchange was developed by a handful of people, the PM got killed in a plane crash in Siberia on his way to a parallel project in Shanghai
