China DOS Union

I just sorted out and wrote a "DOS Teaching Plan", which is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The beginner level mainly cultivates beginners' understanding of basic knowledge of DOS and general operation applications of DOS. The intermediate level mainly provides deeper teaching for advanced users, including various uses of DOS, etc. The advanced level mainly cultivates DOS programming and development. Each level has 16 class hours. What do you think?

The DOS teaching plan is as follows:

Beginner Class:

Lesson 1: Understand DOS, know what DOS is.
Lesson 2: Types, versions, development of DOS, etc.
Lesson 3: Basic concepts of DOS, such as files, folders, drives, etc.

Lesson 14: Introduce knowledge of installation, operation, uninstallation, classification of DOS software, etc.
Lesson 15: Introduce other practical software of DOS, and properly introduce some game software.
Lesson 16: Introduction to the latest technology of DOS and use of practical software, to make everyone have a strong interest in DOS.

Intermediate Class:
Lesson 1: Further understanding of DOS, for example, know the management function of DOS, etc.
Lesson 2: Various internal commands, such as use of PATH, PROMPT, EXIT commands, etc.
Lesson 3: Various batch commands of DOS, such as introduction of IF, FOR, GOTO, etc., and writing simple batch files.
Lesson 4: Common external commands of DOS, such as introduction of SUBST, FIND, SMARTDRV, etc.
Lesson 5: Practical tools of DOS, such as use of long filename tools, NTFS drive tools, etc.
Lesson 6: Learn CONFIG.SYS commands, and further knowledge of DOS memory.
Lesson 7: Actually configure memory, learn basic use of EMM386, UMBPCI, HIRAM, QEMM software, etc.
Lesson 8: Configuration of drivers, such as CuteMouse, VIDE-CDD, CLOAKING, etc.
Lesson 9: System enhancement software of DOS, such as use of 4DOS, DesqView, etc.
Lesson 10: Learn basic knowledge of drives, disks, partitions, and use of FORMAT, CHKDSK software, etc.
Lesson 11: Maintenance knowledge of DOS system and antivirus software, such as use of SCANDISK, FDISK, NU2002, F-PROT, etc.
Lesson 12: Partition software of DOS, such as basic use of GHOST, PQDI, PQMagic, etc.
Lesson 13: Introduction to network function of DOS and basic use knowledge of network.
Lesson 14: Introduce software for dual-machine interconnection such as DriveMap, LapLink, etc., and basic use of LAN software such as MSCLIENT, NWLITE, etc.
Lesson 15: Internet software under DOS, such as basic use of Arachne, Lynx, FTP, Telnet, etc.
Lesson 16: Introduction to use of other latest practical software, to improve everyone's interest in DOS.

Advanced Class:
Lesson 1: Basic programming knowledge of DOS.
Lesson 2: General introduction and development of various programming languages, such as BASIC, C, etc.
Lesson 3: Basic programming languages, such as basic use of GWBASIC, QBASIC, batch processing, etc.
Lesson 4: Learn to use GWBASIC, TC, etc., and be familiar with basic programming knowledge of them.
Lesson 5: Introduce protection mode of DOS and programming under protection mode of DOS.
Lesson 6: Learn to use DJGPP, Allegro programming (Part 1).
Lesson 7: Learn to use DJGPP, Allegro programming (Part 2).
Lesson 8: Write some programs using DJGPP, Allegro.
Lesson 9: Introduce lower-level knowledge, such as knowledge of operating hardware in programs, etc.
Lesson 10: Introduce various interrupt call knowledge.
Lesson 11: Learn to use DJGPP, Allegro to write practical programs (Part 1).
Lesson 12: Learn to use DJGPP, Allegro to write practical programs (Part 2).
Lesson 13: Learn network programming knowledge and introduce basic knowledge of Wattcp TCP/IP, etc.
Lesson 14: Learn to use Wattcp TCP/IP to write simple Internet programs.
Lesson 15: Introduce other programming libraries, and use DJGPP to write programs using these programming libraries.
Lesson 16: Comprehensively use various learned programming knowledge to write various DOS programs.

Okay, let's divide the work then. I can write the primary sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10.

May I ask who is in charge of the advanced class and how it will be implemented?

Why are the basic programming knowledge placed in the advanced section?

I'll take the chapter on compression software. I plan to introduce PKZIP, LHARC, ARJ, RAR and AIN, as well as LZEXE, PKLITE, DIET and WWPACK, UPX. That should be enough, right?

After all, DOS should focus on practicality. So the primary and intermediate levels are to cultivate ordinary users' practical applications of DOS, while only advanced users will consider programming issues, which naturally need to be placed in the advanced level. Just like most users using Windows won't write programs.

It is relatively clear. How to implement it?

The teaching plan formulated by wengier is very detailed and rigorous, and I firmly support it. However, I think the advanced class should not be set up. Given our current level, it is impossible to start an advanced class. This requires more high-level netizens or DOS programmers. Personally, I think advanced things should be used as an academic exchange or discussion. If it is made too detailed, it will be bad. If the topic is set but no one can write a good article, it is better to let everyone play freely. As long as they write their own experiences, we can progress together.

At the same time, I also think that first of all, everyone should determine whether to unite, then make specific divisions of labor, formulate a detailed plan, and finally start operation and implement it immediately.

When does it start?

It depends on the situation. Let's just take a look first.

Can these tutorials be made available for free download by the vast number of beginners after they are compiled? When will they be finished? Dear experts! Take care of your health! You are our hope!!!!

good 坚决赞成，顺便问一声什么时候开始

good, firmly in favor, by the way, ask when it starts

Yeah, everyone wants to see these tutorials
