[Ham-Computers] Running a DOS Program

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello John,

For what it is worth, I am a former programmer. I wrote code for Texas 
Instruments and IBM in the eighties and nineties. Some of my work appeared 
in PC Magazine, as well as numerous corporate newsletters. Naturally the 
latter paid nothing! Figures, heh?

I wrote the first, possibly the only, full featured DOS word processing 
program. I was told by the engineers at IBM that it was impossible, and that 
is all the old blind dude had to hear to arouse my sense of challenge! It 
took me a year to write the code, test it for bugs, fix the ones I found and 
get it spit polished to the point that it satisfied me. I do not think there 
is anyone more fussy then a computer programmer!

So if I can help someone out there in the digital world with a DOS issue, I 
would be happy to do so.
