I have a book that programs C++ for Dos. Google for a bit and you will find some stuff.

I agree, the best way to go is through batch programming. I tried it at one time, lost interest relatively fast because I couldn't find any good tutorials online. Only thing I really learned how to do is a small executable "del *.*" file... of course it was for a good purpose *grins*

sure, "dos" programming is the easy one :)

its when you starting playing with widgets and shit that stuff gets annoying :\.

what do you want to do exactly?

im presumming you have no programming experience,

Beleive it or not, you can write quite complex programs in DOS with Visual Basic... just not the new versions like VB-6 or VB.NET.

I think that you have to find a VB-3 program, to program 16-bit applications. All versions after that write files in 32-bit file format (which only work for windows). Good luck on finding a VB3 disk now days though...

But E-bay is God when it comes to rare and discontinued stuff. So try there. I wouldn't think it to be TOO expensive since it's so old...
