Let's Code MS DOS 0x31: ANSI C Data Types
The C programming language has only few builtin data types. But for a beginner those can be a bit confusing. So we will have a look at what data types are offered, and what kind of new datatypes you can build with C.
Óscar Toledo G.A few weeks ago, I needed to compile my transputer assembler using Turbo C. So I wondered why I don't have my own copy of Turbo C? 😉 1990 rulezzz. 25 bucks, it looks like the 90s advertisements 🤩 and fits with my original DOS 3.3. #retro #development #borland #turboc

@jamesog i cut my language teeth on #BASIC and #Pascal on my #Apple2e (and a bunch of #PET and #TRS80) back in the day. By college (1988) I was using #C, #LISP, et al on a variety of systems. I used #TurboPascal and #TurboC on a few college projects. Oh and #shell scripting. Lots of shell scripting. Ironically, I never touched #COBOL until I began work after college. Hehe #RetroComputing
Hm, I think Turbo C 2.01 has a very tricky, and VERY ancient bug. The intr() function from <dos.h> header SHOULD be able to pass ES:BP pointers to interrupts. However I think it doesn't. Using this gives garbage (or probably: the stack pointer) to the interrupt vector instead. I wonder if this could be patched...? How hard can it be to disassemble the .lib files?

wolandYou can enjoy a nostalgic DOS-ish experience in your modern terminals using turbo, a tubo-pascal/turboc inpired editor based on the modern port of turbovision. Supports all the old goodies such as splits, floating windows etc ...
There is also tvterm which is a WIP but its useable.
