The DOS SDK

• dark-star 4y ago
  There's a rather more sophisticated DOS SDK available: doslib from the guy who maintains dosbox-x. https://github.com/joncampbell123/doslib https://github.com/joncampbell123/doslib Most of the stuff that's emulated in DosBox-X has a corresponding SDK in doslib. It's a treasure-trove of information

    > 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
