China DOS Union

These days, DOS discussions are no longer about pure DOS. They're all about the command line in CMD mode under win2000, winxp, etc., which is really disappointing. In the future, pure DOS will disappear.

Actually, at present both are there.

If you have questions, just ask. Pure DOS will never disappear. As long as we DOS enthusiasts still have one breath left, we won't let it disappear.

What the moderator said sounds so tragic and heroic.

Don't talk nonsense, it's clearly still there

Make a virtual floppy with DOS boot, attach it to NT's boot menu, and you can use DOS every day!!!
What did you think DOS is for? I think it's only for assistance and for solving some functions when needed. Do you use DOS to go online? Watch DVDs with DOS too? Make richly illustrated documents with DOS too?

I've said this issue over and over no one knows how many times! I said long ago that the forum should sort out the posts: DOS is DOS, Windows is Windows! But nobody listens!

I don't object to discussing these issues, but if they have nothing to do with DOS then it's better not to bring them to a DOS forum for discussion. There are plenty of places like that online.

Most of what gets discussed here now is DOS under CMD, and a lot of it can't be used under pure DOS,
that's why there's this sigh.

But a lot of people really are discussing non-DOS stuff here,
and don't we also have non-DOS sections!

But don't you see that many people are posting non-DOS stuff in the DOS section! Of course, you can't blame them all, because they themselves think what they're posting belongs to DOS.
