Why is it only around Ada language folks that I keep hearing about this
DOS thing?
who cares about DOS? DOS is dead, lets get on with it, dealing with
anything to do with DOS is a waste of time. does anybody actually develop
for DOS nowadays? if someone does not have $100 to buy a modern OS to work
on, then they don't need the software anyways, and they don't need Ada either.
