Software FOR DOS is many times easier crossdeveloped in a windows/linux environment, and even debugged in a 32 bit Windows console environent or "DosBox". however if you are so devoted to program ON DOS ten you should be ale to download and copy the compiler yourself. you are a programmer! and there are so many more compilers/interpreters/AWK/SED/.... available then would ever fir on any medium. however it might be cool to have the tools necessary to regenerate freedos itself as present on te CD. imo thats watcom C, NASM and UPX. nothing depends on any dialect of BASIC.
