Let me also recomand the Eiffel Language created by Bertrand Meyer. It's documented in his 1188 page book that is not a text book, "Object-Oriented Software Construction 2nd Edition and patches. A complete open source development system is available at Eiffel.org. Meyer's book discusses the moti

Has anyone tried NTFS4DOS? I had it on a boot CD once that I occasionally used for data recovery, but in that context it was all menu-driven and seemed to function a lot like 4DOS (anyone remember that? a poor man's Windows Explorer). I don't know what its capabilities would be on the command line

Freeware program VFD (virtual floppy drive) seems to be doing quite well for me at the moment for editing floppy images. The program will not fit on a floppy but this appears to be a prerequisite. In fact I am essentially done with my project but still want something I can throw in a batch file to

Okay, I have the CD working now, just need to fine-tune it. Is anyone aware of an FDOS utility that can probe for available drives, preferably writable ones? On my machine it finds my FAT32 partition (D: in XP) and assigns it to the C: drive. Can I count on that behavior to continue on other machi
