Not much point given that DOS is libre software now
- jacobush 7y ago(FreeDOS is, in case anyone would get the impression MS-DOS was.)
- faissaloo 7y agoNo, I mean MS-DOS https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS
- userulluipeste 7y agoYou made me curious enough to go check out the link. Yeah, those are sources, alright. Assembly code! Of course, the comments are nice, but that kind of code... could be had, more or less, disassembling DOS' files before, no?
- faissaloo 7y agoNo, this sort of Assembly has comments explaining things, named constants, jump labels etc which would all be missing from the disassembly
- jacobush 7y agoThat's great! MIT license. Still, I think to be more useful it would have be to DOS version 3, but preferably 5 or 6. I don't expect MS-DOS 2 to have as good support for modern hardware as FreeDOS has, either.
