- kristopolous 5y agoOh of course! Those used to be quite handy. I believe I remember them having remarkably simple and comprehensible source code. I had some old book by like dr dobbs or someone about dos internals in the 90s and I remember seeing all the technicals laid bare in the source back when I was in high school. It was one of the earliest memories I have of seeing what true software competence looked like. Apparently it's still maintained. I wonder where it's being used, fuse and things like that I had assumed replaced all this. I need to find a way to remember that passion and capture it again
