    I can't believe Webmaster has been hiding the 404 Not Found board from us.

    Not cool, man... not cool.


    Ugg, you editted... that means I need to post something meaningful, now... Ok, well here goes...

    What could possibly go in DOS Programming that doesn't already go in the C and C++ boards and hasn't this been discussed before?

    I gotta be honest man, when I clicked on this, I was really hoping the forum was going to be some Super Elite Hacking Forum that all the Super-Mods and Admins post on to plan their next big hacking heist. Oh... you know Prelude is down.

    I've posted a topic on this before. They said it was a board they had some years ago when DOS programming wasn't so... obsolete.

    The Dos board sucked. A lot of the stuff posted related to the CMD prompt in Windows. Only Bubba and a few hard core Dos-heads got anything out of it.

    That's what I thought. So why doesn't webmaster get rid of it?

    Is it possible to learn these coding abilities?

    It's possible those pathways lead/lead (the latter being past-tense, former being present tense), to learning ... Possibly ask Bubba ... ?

    I want a console board

    EDIT: More seriously though, I would really enjoy a "C++ Libraries" board.

    Yes, we have. Just reaffirming that desire.
