i've recently gotten the urge to install dos recently, and see what it might have been like in the text only days of operating systems. I was having just jolly good time piddling around with the text interfaces and text programs and whatnot, until i decided to run one of my silly text games that i'd made awhile back for the cmd in windows, and now i've come to find out that anything i'd written in msvc++ was suddenly useless :\ . so, driven to figure out a way to program for ms-dos, i stumbled upon a compiler named djgpp, but for the life of me, i can't get it to work correctly in dos. so, because i'm apparenlty a miserable fail, does anyone here know of a way to possibly write a program and compile it from a more modern operating system, but have it still be able to run in ms-dos? it doesn't have to be able to run in windows, just compile in windows and then run in dos :\ . i'm using ms-dos 7.1 and intend to program in c++ for it.
