Comment on Ask HN: What software do you miss that no longer runs on modern hardware?

Comments

Quarantine, DOS. Required EMS, so you always had to EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to play.

No, you don't. Read help about MENUCONFIG, MENUITEM, SUBMENU.

What help? I had a DOS 5 book which was the only source of information available to me at the time, being pre-modem-acquisition and pre-internet. Perhaps you're confusing with later editions? This was 1994.

C:\DOS contains HELP.COM with all DOS commands, configurations, etc. You can also search the net.
