first Pelit lehti was ossom iirc with Monkey Island things

it was fine with me

i had C=lehti and mikrobitti since septemer 1987 and they called at some time would it be okay

the early years Mikrobitti was good. C= lehti was tad better.Well, not excellent...

i mean unsubscribed

mikrobitti came so bleh

i quitted them when they discontinued Mikrobitti

oh sorry i had the wrong stream

GURU MEDITATION

doesnt this song feel similar to already heard?

C.BAT contents: C:

i was getting C=lehti since late 1987 and so they called they moved it into Pelit lehti

at that time i was still getting Pelit lehti and maybe even Mikrobitti

like C<enter> to access C:\ drive, D for D:\ drive etc but also a commonly-used program selector

i remember some optimal things to have to get some games running yes

GURU MEDITATION

those were basically bat files to script some little things

i made a bit "fakey" AGES on top of 4dos (incorporated Dos6.2 or 4dos dual boot)

yes

*bat

autoexec.nat AND config.sys

How many times we had to tweak autoexec.bat just to run certain demos.. and those worked only with barebones RAM setup, no MS "extended memory" think, well it varied from a demo to another

yes, things like sound APIs probably need C or pascal typically

colliding interrupts and how to handle them properly, with faulty chipsets etc

INTEL OUTSIDE

i bet the DOS/4G people made a lot of $

franz: Yeah whatta hazy term.. but complex memory management and the pc setups differ too much from one to another, i/o areas, shadowmem, whatever sth like that and not to mention the sound card handling and interrupts

2nd reality uses turbo pascal for glue code but effects are ASM

in MS-DOS things like video mode selection etc. is done in Assembly even if the program is otherwise C...

Agemixer: "CPU and stuff"?
