because programming can be MUCH more productive when you have multiple windows open, each much better then 25*80, can google stuff while editing, look at your source while debugging and much more. it worked - yes. like a hand drill, and hand saw, or other late 1800 stuff. whatever you do - you are probably using electric stuff these days. unless you are an archeologist, trying to rebuild a medivial castel with medivial tools only. > That is the part that I think is the true fallacy that too many people > perpetrate these days, when claiming to be interested in (Free)DOS. when 'interested' in DOS, you should use edlin and a XT machine with a big 20 MB disk for the real experience.
