The FreeDOS Project<p>Modern computers have tons of memory &amp; disk. My desktop PC has 32GB memory and ¼TB NVME storage. </p><p>It's hard for some to imagine what programming was like when memory was counted in kilobytes and disks were single digit megabytes. </p><p>Here's a demonstration using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeDOS</span></a> with 640kb memory and 5MB disk, using just <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/edlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edlin</span></a> and a C compiler to write programs. 🤓</p><p>➡️“Code like it’s the 1980s”</p><p>🌐 <a href="https://www.both.org/?p=10559" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">both.org/?p=10559</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
DesertFOX<p>After a few weeks of procrastination, I finally took the time to read up on how to use EDLIN.COM. There&#39;s simply no way around it if you want to work with early versions of DOS from the 80s.</p><p>This here is me adding a few new lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT of an IBM DOS 3.30.

Rasta™ OLD<p>Hard to believe, but after all these years, I found a setting in Windows Explorer I hadn't noticed before. </p><p>It might not always have been there, I no longer repair PCs for folks, so I stopped studying every possible thing you could do to break one. <br>The feature may have come with an upgrade. </p><p>So, my explorer locked up a few times, which cased me to look further, and I see t his tiny √ and there were options!
