I see it the other way: in a world full of opportunities, what motivation should young people have to start developing for DOS, if they do not get motivated by some form or another? And here videos work, much better than written words. The experience I got by teaching young people how to program is that they are generally open-minded regarding this „retro stuff“, but they do not start developing for ancient platforms because of some articles or documentation, but because of getting shown what can be done, and how much fun it can be. > > Did you forget we're talking about DOS here? Glad you reminded me! Was in the process of forgetting it while working on the FreeCOM source. Thanks!
