I am doing FreeDos only. Currently only what is on the official
release, I have not applied any updates, yes but
its all on there. Waiting on a wireless PCMCIA that supports DOS. :)
Well I might through linux on there too in a partition in case I need
something a little more sophisticated.

There is a command line client that exists already, debugging the port
will, I think
help me quite a bit, I will get used to seeing C++ code again, and
troubleshooting
debugging is something I am quite good at, I think.

I really want to and I plan too, but I don't know how to do lower
level programing
"hardware/OS direct" yet. I plan too though. I just first need to get
my feet wet.
Then learn assembly.

If I am just using freedos to develop on then the current version is
good?
I am just trying to get the right setup. I want to make the transition
from
doing windows programming with the fancy IDE, intellisense smoothly.
While at the same time have the most current header libraries and
functionality
I can.

You have been extremely helpful and I really appreciate it.
