On: The DOS SDK

not really sure what this is about - i was programming in assembler and c on ibm xt and at in the early to mid 1980s, with no problems.

> An equivalent for the IBM PC platform, or PC DOS/MS-DOS/compatible environments has never been available

As usual - you will never know the difference until you try.

well, as i said, i did program for those environments - don't feel much urge to re-start now

Not sure why you think we care.

What a bizarre flex... I'm sure you're a blast to talk to at parties and events lol
