any nerd from the 80's that can teach me a thing or 2 about DOS programming?
I wan to start with Console Apps and move to logos and ANCII imageing and stuff… im trying to stay away from dos-box but if thats all i can do then so be it…

Piffie files are my main concern and wonder how i can open them i want to know… i do have some windows 95 machines i can use just in case… im trying to stay 100% native windows because thats all i have ….

Try there. Maybe start with the basics first then move onto functions.

goto end of file is what i have learned from looking at that… DOS seems uber fun to program but its not a language in itself is it? its just a way of calling things to run, correct? like u can use dos to run a game written in C or is there more to it?
