Mm, support

The following is quoted from kksse's post on 2003-6-6 22:14:01:
Do you think dos can help you manage your 160g hard drive, make better use of the speed of your 512m memory, or let you enjoy playing cs?

What's difficult about these? Newer versions of DOS such as MS-DOS 7.10 and FreeDOS already support large hard drives, large memory, and so on.

The command line is one way of working, and the GUI is another way of working; the two are not comparable.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Support for the command line is really support for managing servers through scripts. Programs that only have a GUI are unfriendly to other people who want to call the
program; they are only friendly to the "end user".

Operating systems like DOS and UNIX do not represent a black-and-white character interface. If you insist on saying that, then what are X and SEAL
supposed to be?

In the minds of the older generation, DOS really is something nostalgic. It can make very good use of a 486's performance, but LINUX can too!
Why don't you go criticize RED HAT LINUX4。2 instead?

As for games, that is an even more classic example. Games like C&C, Red Alert, Civilization, and DOOMII are the predecessors of all today's
popular games. Game development is only related to hardware, and there were plenty of excellent games developed under DOS. Even now, many Japanese games are still developed directly under DOS, then given a frontend so they can run directly under WINDOWS, without the limitations of a WINDOWS-specific version. If DOOM had not started the FPS boom, CS might not have appeared so early.

DOS is old stuff? That only means MS-DOS is old, and MS has stopped supporting it. FREE-DOS is new, and we pay attention to it. Besides, there is also FREE-DOS32; its kernel is also new and has broken away from 16-bit. If we use 64-bit machines tomorrow, DOS will still be able to run on them.

As for WEB servers, do you really not know this? PERL4 was the most popular server-side CGI language before 1994, and it also had a DOS version. Why? Because people really did use DOS to build servers and run BBSes on them. There are even books on this sold abroad!

So I can only partly agree with your point of view. DOS can be used for nostalgia, but at the same time it can also be used to solve practical problems. WEB services, typesetting and editing (the TEX language), and NOVELL LANs are all good examples. Didn't universities in the past run DOS?

Our lemonhall seems to know games very well. Could you post a sample?

I just like DOS and love using DOS. dos can help you understand windows better.

Talk less empty nonsense and do more practical work: make dos and development tools support large memory, large hard drives, and multitasking!!!

At present DOS and most new development tools already support large memory and large hard drives (for DOS, at least "large" hard drives of 20GB, 200GB, or even 2000GB are no problem at all, as long as they are not in NTFS format), so these problems simply do not exist. And some new-generation DOS systems such as Real/32 DOS(Multiuser DOS) have long fully supported multiuser multitasking.
