Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?

[Joshua Kennedy]

yes and that is why i use talking dosbox with nvda in sleep mode. so i 
can use all my favorite dos programs once more in a real dos environment 
with a real dos screen reader. and its nice that  the dos screen reader  
talks using whatever voice you have set in NVDA, even if that voice is 
decTalk.

I was born in 1982, in 1991 I got my first computer.
for 5.5 years I used dos.
in 1996 I got my first windows system but still used dos.
in 2002 I got my next system with windows.
Still used dos for some stuff a bit less.
in 2006 I got my next system, still used dos a bit.
in 2010 I got another system.
Still used dos, though by then the system was dieing the battery got 
vary hot and the drives were failing.

In 2011 I stopped using dos.
Its 2017 now and about 4 years back I got the system I am using now.
I only use windows, however through my teen years I used dos for 
gaming etc.
Its true I used the keysoft shell most of my life so the only time I 
ever did true dos were reformats, setups, or gaming so I probably 
didn't do much.
Where I had to do something complex I set a batch file to do it though 
I have read more complex dos stuff.
Dos died with the later windows and the fact with 64 bit units ms is 
really pushing dos out.
Problem is now everyone thinks that if the system puts an error out 
they expect to click something for it to go away, no one appreciates 
how things work.
Judging from your mail, you were either going through the electronic 
borg process between worlds of windows and dos or you had a hard time 
of it.
Dos was a single task nightmare and sometimes I wished it could be a 
bit better.

But I still liked it at times.
Even screen readers now are not as good as the dos ones were.

Josh,
That's because dos commands are complicated, confusing, and involve

with.
Consider the following basic example:
c:\users\john> cd e:
c:\users\john>

Change directory to e:? Why am I still in my home directory?
Its because cd is complicated and painful, and requires you to 
specify that you want to change drives, and if you don't, it won't

tell you something went wrong.

It is generally a good thing that commandlines are shifting to only 
be used in rare circumstances, because without this change,

computers would never have grown to be what they are today.

Also remember that most people don't know how to use dos because, 
quite simply, its immensely limited.
Dos may have been great in its heyday, but that time is long past. 
640kb of memory can't even run hellow world now.

Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?

with windows10 no recovery disk is really needed. you just go in and hit 
the reset button in settings. but before i reset i always try to fix the 
issue first.

Hi
Pretty sad that a simple question on here gets people bashing.
Come on!
Why should your basic computer user, who only wants things to work, have to 
enter a million commands, troubleshoot, figure things 
out if it doesn’t interest them in the slightest?
It’s not their job nor should it be.
It’s like telling an auto mechanic to work on a computer when he’s used to 
being under the hood of a car. Or telling a clothes 
designer to start designing tires for big semi’s because hey, you need to know 
how this works since I do and because you take the 
easy route, that makes you a bad person.
If that isn’t the intent of your message I apologize, but certainly seems so. 
Yes, I do agree, reformatting should be your last 
option but windows 10 makes it so beyond ridiculously easy to both back up and 
restore your pc from said backup
As far as dos goes – it’s the same thing. I haven’t heard it mentioned in years 
by anyone mainstream – so how can you expect anyone 
in the last even 10 years to know about it? Come on, again. Most of the things 
I google about for dos come up with complex pages 
that assume, similar to Linux, that you have a basic understanding of said 
operating system and it’s commands.
Really disheartening that a thread brought up with such a simple question gets 
diverted like this.

Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?

[Joshua Kennedy]

that's not complicated at all. for me at least. I got my first pc back 
in 1992 when I was 10. It only had dos on it. dos is what I grew up 
with. for me, dos is just as easy as windows or mac or android is today. 
In my opinion dos is very very easy to learn and use.

That's because dos commands are complicated, confusing, and involve far more 
detail than 90% of computer users ever want to deal
with.
Consider the following basic example:
c:\users\john> cd e:
c:\users\john>

Change directory to e:? Why am I still in my home directory?
Its because cd is complicated and painful, and requires you to specify that you 
want to change drives, and if you don't, it won't
tell you something went wrong.

It is generally a good thing that commandlines are shifting to only be used in 
rare circumstances, because without this change,
computers would never have grown to be what they are today.

Also remember that most people don't know how to use dos because, quite simply, 
its immensely limited.
Dos may have been great in its heyday, but that time is long past. 640kb of 
memory can't even run hellow world now.

Re: [Audyssey] Kitchensinc games.

jim wrote all his games in visual basic 6 for windows95 and windows98. 
and for his dos games, he wrote them in q-basic for dos.
