But making GAMES for DOS today isn't really serious, isn't it!? You must agree with me on this point! Rickard Andersson@Suza Computing C# and C++ programmer from SWEDEN!

Explain to me how, when I run "cmd" from the Start menu, this isn't DOS. Isn't this what's called "console" mode? If it looks like DOS, smells like DOS, and tastes like DOS, then it probably IS DOS. Maybe I'm missing something here. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

If its a 10 year old 486, it still runs dos. But it wont run a W2k console application. And, who knows how to program a console application? Doing DOS screen paintings is a easy job. Any hundreds of applications are written for DOS, bugfixed for many years and now they run. Rewritting them would cost lots of money and bring nothing.

Ah yes.. POS systems and DOS. Fortunately, the company which I work for, develops and sells (directly or through reseller) Windows based POS systems. :rolleyes: I'm currently working on the next major release of it.

People have no problem spending a few bucks on personal hardware. It's just a matter of saving up for a few months - for some not even that. However, a company don't have that luxury. If they have a perfectly working system, then why on earth should they upgrade to something they don't need? The costs aren't just the price for the hardware, but for the guy who installs it, the possibly new software, the training of personell for the new system, etc. As for doing graphics and stuff on DOS, I think that's a trait of masters. Consider writing a simple 3d-demo. In Windows et al you just fire up DirectX or OpenGL, use the already debugged and ready to use toolkit and you're done. In DOS you'd probably have to write all that yourself. You really have to work it bit by bit on DOS, which is something that requires far more attention of the programmer. I'm not saying we should all go back to DOS, but if it works for someone, let that someone use it. You don't have to. :) -- "And God said, Let us make man in our image"
