After dosfetch popped up in my timeline, I spent the better part of the day playing with Turbo C++ and inline assembly on DOS. For some reason, I never did this back in the day. Only QuickBASIC.

That was a really nice change of pace, compared to all the modern stuff like Rust, web apps, or even just X11 programming.

@movq Hah, I actually did a lot of assembly back in the day with MS-DOS. I believe my tools of choice were Norton Commander and Tasm (Turbo Assembler). Also used Masm a bit as well.

@prologic 🤯 Did any of those programs survive? Do you still have them? 😃

@movq Sadly no 😢 The move from Papua New Guinea to Australia put a nail in that foccim 😆

But I dad will remember some of the tales 🤣 @off_grid_living

@prologic Awww, that’s too bad. 😢 I lost a lot of my old stuff as well.

Meanwhile, I took asciibrot, replaced some POSIX stuff (like usleep()) with the DOS equivalent and, boom, most of it actually works:

I mean, it’s not *that* surprising since it’s just a simple terminal program, but I’ve never done something like that before, so I’m pretty thrilled. 😅
