Hello

I was asked to try another group in an earlier post, I was writing the
program in C inside a DOS window. Software of choice -> (Borland Turbo
C++ 1.0).

Nobody uses DOS anymore?...I'm I the only one?

Dos is not the issue! It's weather or not C programming is still
excepted by users writing programs for the DOS operating
system...........some people don't agree.

This is lang.C ........right? Where does it say you have to program in
Windows or DOS for that matter?
 
People seem to forget where it evolved from, even though I had a
couple issues with a enviroment variable in the autoexec.bat file, I
tried keep the subtance of my post within the bounds of this group.

I picked up a book called "Microsoft C" by Kris Jamesea it was
published in 1988, got it from library that I used to write a program
earlier.....
with a little help from others here in this group.

There you have it.............it's old, so what!!

It's far from dead I would think!!:).......haha
