Things got so bad with real mode DOS development that I rebooted the
system every time my program crashed, making for rather painfully slow
development.
Salvation came in the form of OS/2 (!). Although OS/2 was a tiny market,
it was a godsend for me. I developed all the 16 bit code on OS/2, which
had memory protection. Only the final step was recompiling it for real
mode DOS.
All this talk about DOS, I also saw this in the news
