Migrating to MS-DOS06/27/2010
A few days ago I installed MS-DOS 6.22 on an old Pentium PC that I have and then copied to its hard drive my "glorious" probation of DOS stuff from my backup CDs. Needless to say that DOS is a lovely environment for old-fashioned tech people such as my self, so I got fascinated with the result.
What I love of working with DOS (rather than Windows or Linux) is the simplicity. You get things done quick and almost effortlessly; you have fewer choices so fewer things to worry about; you can focus on what you are doing with no distractions.
I was planing for C but the Microsoft Quick C ver 2 (QC2) that was once my war horse, were corrupted so for development I only have a copy of Borland Turbo Pascal 3.0... very limited but good enough for producing my assembler/simulator winning couple.
So it is decided: DOS will be the development environment for Heritage/1 software production. H1ASM will be rewritten in Turbo Pascal taking advantage of the good experience I had with the PHP implementation. The H1SIM simulator will also be written in Turbo Pascal... for DOS!
