I'm mostly retired now, and my paying work involves maintenance on proprietary inventory and billing software written in a 1960s language in a dialect that became unsupported in the mid-1980s. And it runs in MS-DOS.
I've mostly set aside the languages and tools I used to use, and I'm learning Haiku's variant of C++ to write some native-mode Haiku application software.

- contingencies 9mo agoIndustrial metalworking machines can typically be upgraded to modern controllers fairly easily.
- ex-aws-dude 9mo agoAre you able to compile it on a modern computer or do you have to work on it in MS-DOS?
