DOS on DOPE
- joshka 4y agohttps://secretgeek.net/dod_intro https://secretgeek.net/dod_intro is a better link on this. Also (2010)
- skissane 4y agoThe author of this appears to be afflicted with the common confusion that the Windows CLI environment (console subsystem, CMD.EXE, etc) is “DOS”.
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoIt makes sense considering that in non-NT Windows, it was a full DOS virtual machine, and while NT's cmd.exe is not DOS, 32-bit versions could still run DOS apps via NTVDM (also a virtual machine).
- throw827474737 4y agoHe sure knows better, and tbh, today this is the apparent ""relict"" remaining from the MS-DOS times so it can be well called like this for a project title, but thanks for the nitpick!
- chungy 4y agoEven without opening the command prompt, the mere presence of drive letters are a particularly embarrassing relict from MS-DOS.
- benj111 4y agoBecause Does on Dope is catchier than CMD.exe on Coke?
- Kwpolska 4y agoOr, keeping with the RoR theme, "The Trainwreck also known as CMD.exe off the Rails" (TTakaCotR)?
- LeonB 4y agoBingo
- spookie 4y agoCMD.exe on coke is pretty dope ngl
- jbverschoor 4y agoPlay Commander Coke against the aliens
- garethrowlands 4y agoOr posh on poke I guess.
- samrolken 4y agoWhen I saw that some of the glue code is in C#, I was momentarily excited to learn more about compiling C# to be able to run on DOS.

- mikotodomo 4y agoBatch scripts are really bad for web dev. IFL your company would go broke if they used this.
- BirAdam 4y agoLol. The website has some wonderful info: What about security? If you can't trust public visitors from the internet, who can you trust? Executing user input as commands inside the operating system is the most direct way to get things done, and that's what matters most. Does it scale? So far I haven't run into any performance problems. Whenever I've opened up a DoD website to several users, my hard drive tends to get wiped long before I discover performance issues.
