> There are no 'regular OS', each has/had it's uses. Yes, ever so often, the 'Death of DOS' is solemnly announced.<g>
I use a straight DOS OS on most of my vintage computers, and Windows and Linux on my newer, Internet connected boxes. I also use Windows for Pen 1.0 on my vintage GRiD pen computers. A while back, I had a OS/2 installed on one of my computers, but took it off, as the box didn't have enough RAM for anything except DOS. I guess I am an OS junkie.<g> My biggest practical uses for the DOS environment are word processing, and writing non- I/O related C modules... the logic stuff, that is OS independent, and can then be dropped into whatever OS system you want, and compiled with I/O modules specific to that (or those) OS's. I just like the feel of my old computers, and the elegance of a lot of the old software. I also enjoy working w/o a mouse. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ A business is as honest as its advertisements. .
