I initially mis-read what Tom had written about programming on DOS being painful. He is not wrong. ;-0 I program "for" DOS for the challenge. But I don't program too much "on" DOS, because I'm not interested in challenging myself that much.
I used to use Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS on a DOS machine for DOS programming. 10+ years ago I moved to Open Watcom 1.8 on a Windows machine for my DOS programming. With Cygwin I have a Unix-like environment. I have multiple windows for editing, web browser windows for looking up strange interrupts, a PDF viewer, etc. The performance of the modern machine is great compared to ye old DOS machine. There are some exceptions. Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS has a useful IDE, but I can't read PDF files or look up things online from a DOS machine running it. -Mike
