Top Document: comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ part 5/5 Previous Document: Next Document: See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge 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.

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.
