Yea, modern coding is "just" using pre-made librairies ... that's useful but I like making them myself

@roe:

of course calling apis is "real" programming .. almost any programs in dos use INT 21h calls so this is nothing else then a call
to the "DOS API". But what I meant is if you do the folowing (source unknown )

#include "win95.h"
#include "bugs.inc"
#include "spy.h"
void main(void)
{
             printf("Loading windows 98");
             sleep(10000);
             win95_init();
             launch_win95_and_proceed();
           looper:
             if (#ran*1)==(ran*2)) then
                crash_lib_bluescreen(error_98_shutdown);
              Goto looper
}

and call it windows 98 (just like M$ did).

lol!
BTW Looking at this source I see that this "company" doesn't know how to write a correct main function. According to (for example) C FAQ (available at www.faqs.org) the signature of the main function must *ALWAYS* declare a return a value, so "void main ..." is buggy (although some other "company" allows that), you can skip writing "return 0" at the end of the main function, because 0 is treated as a normal return code. Wow they also managed to use the infamous goto statement.

But the most incredible thing is that so simple OS like MS-DOS 1.0,3.0 and so on was so popular and allowed to get so many $ I really think that I should be born about 20 yrs. earlier and a (far) bit more to the west.

Can I use Microsoft Visual C++ for C++ programming on AFX 2.0+ ?

[Andy.Davies]

yes, aslong as you dont use Visual C++'s compiler, someone (cant remember who) said acuratly, that it only compiles to windows code. so you can use it as your IDE but compile using Turbo C (borland, free) or pacific C (free)

this has all been said in this topic, im just summerising cos u seem to have an in-abilaty to read existing info. sorry if that sounds a bit harsh

I love your code huhn_m Where did you find it !!

[huhn_m]

Don't know I forgot it. It even wasn't the same way. I extended it somewhat ...

(e.g. the loop wasn't there and so on ..) it is freely adapted
