 Microsoft has stopped developing MS-DOS and most of the programming
 information they now provide is focused more on Windows development
 instead of MS-DOS programming.

 In ther past, individual employees of Microsoft (not MicroSoft, please!)
 have posted here. Their addresses all take the form
 person@microsoft.com. However, Microsoft as a company does not answer
 individual questions via email through the Internet.

 On the Web:

 Microsoft's Web server <http://www.microsoft.com> contains information
 on their products and allows users to search the Microsoft Knowledge
 Base.

 Via ftp:

 Microsoft's anonymous FTP server <ftp://ftp.microsoft.com> offers a
 variety of information for developers. This ftp server is run using
 Windows NT, so it supports both UNIX- like and DOS-like path names. For
 example \SOFTLIB\INDEX.TXT and /SOFTLIB/INDEX.TXT are both valid.
 Filenames are not case sensitive.

 Informarion related to MS-DOS can be found in the /SOFTLIB directory and
 the /PEROPSYS directory.

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
