I have to ask: If you're a newbie, why start with DOS? I mean, yes, it's smaller and older and simpler, but that also means that some things are more work. There are lots of BASIC compilers out there now for Windows, Linux, etc. which are much more usable. https://www.freebasic.net/ https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/index.html Or get an old Raspberry Pi, a Pi 1 or 2 will do and will cost like $5 or something, and put RISC OS on it. Then you have a multitasking 32-bit OS with a GUI and BBC BASIC, one of the best and fastest BASIC dialects ever written. > My aim is to do some alterations to existing source (sort-of-text editor). Then you have to use the same language version that it was written in, and your mission is to find that out, not to explore options for DOS. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
