Thanks for your help, sorry for being vague. Below is a list of programming
languages I have used starting with the most used down to least used
Visual Basic (5 years), C# ( 18 months) , HTML (7 years), ASP ( 4 years) ,
C++ ( 1 year), Delphi (6months) I have worked on these languages over the
last 7 years for around the said time.
I would like to be able to write code for DOS in C++ - and maybe even to
create my own MBR code for my own OS or apps etc later on.
Thanks again for your help
James
