China DOS Union

It's really completely confused...

Only what you can't think of, there's nothing you can't do.

Yes. Although the number of people is not large.

To be honest, I don't understand what's good about DOS. There are so many good tools available, but people insist on using DOS. I don't know what they were thinking...

What tools do you think are good??Some things have to be operated under DOS.

"Don't understand what's good about DOS"???!
First, under DOS, it's free, you can do whatever you want, simple and clear, unlike Windows which is muddled. Not to mention, when Windows has problems, it ultimately relies on DOS to rescue, have you ever heard of DOS having problems and relying on Windows to rescue? DOS can format itself, can Windows do that?
Second, please search for the post of whowin.

I firmly advocate DOS for things involving hardware and real-time

I don't know why you can still run to here?

From this, it can be seen that everyone's affection for DOS is really deep.

Are you confused!
If you were a program maker, you wouldn't say such words!
If you are not a programmer, we can understand!
No one would stick to an old technology, but there are some occasions where it has to be used. Who doesn't know that MFC is easy to use, who doesn't know that VB is convenient! If you want to control costs in some special application occasions, and want simple and stable hardware, do you use WINDOWS? It itself can't guarantee whether there will be problems or not! Also, in the control industry, data acquisition, requiring real-time data, 1ms for one data, let WIN try, this kind of multi-threaded operating system is difficult to guarantee, some people also say it can be realized, but dare you use it

DOS is very close to the hardware. It can directly call hardware without restrictions. This is also the shortcoming of the DOS system.
There are no protection measures for program execution, and almost anything can be done.



I study DOS programming mainly to learn more about directly programming hardware. Familiarize myself with the paths that predecessors have taken.

Who says DOS is not good?

First of all, it has extremely low requirements for hardware. For example, as long as the CPU is above 286 and 640Kb of memory is enough. Can Windows XP do that?

Secondly, it can directly program hardware operations, such as programming for I/O ports; Windows will be subject to various restrictions.

Programming software under Windows is like a fool machine, while programming software under DOS is truly a professional machine!

Only people in the industrial control industry know the good of DOS! If the real-time control program uses the WINDOWS platform, heh heh, there will be viruses to deal with!

Hehe, if the hospital's electrocardiogram monitors were all Windows instead of DOS, who knows how many patients would have died!!

Hahahaha... If the machine dies, the person dies too. That's really all dead! Really all dead! Hahahaha!
