reminds me of the last time I had to remember that dir/copy/move with backslashes. dad's insurance 'software'. always amazed me how computer users get stuck in a way of doing things. print mail
Ah, the Quick and Dirty Operating System.... we meet again.
MS-DOS 1.25, 2.0 were release years ago, your title should specify 4.0
Exactly.
Wake me when they release DOS 6.x source code.
Thanks, I was looking exactly for thst !
It will be great to know exactly what happens when you make the function calls.

How much you wanna bet that a select few turbo-nerds are racing to debug it or something.

Well, this should be incredibly useful for Dosbox and improving playability of retro games, right?
Perhaps, if there are some very specific compatibility issues that haven't been solved yet.
That said, MS-DOS 4 isn't even the most recent version, the last one was 6.22 to my knowledge, and IIRC a lot of games tended to require at least version 5 or 6.
And look at all of they ways they are extending the open source community via github and copilot!
They sure are extinguishing any posible fear I may have about the absolutely destroying anything beautiful.
I'm sure the only reason why they waited this long is that they needed to make sure it's old enough that the companies they stole code from can't sue.
