Really quite cool, ta.

Time to know about the undocumented interrupts! Oh wait that's kinda old.

Name: Anonymous 2006-10-16 8:54

I know this is retro, and totally irrelevant today, but that is still awesome.

It's too bad we can't do anything with it. Taint and all that.

Perhaps we can steal it to develop FreeDOS

I still have quite a few DOS 6 machines in production here, so this is an interesting read. Thanks.

Maybe Microsoft leaked this on purpose so they can accuse the FreeDOS people of stealing trade secrets, the way SCO is doing with IBM and Linux.

At last, I can find out the secrets contained within these three words: Abort, Retry, Fail?

Name: Anonymous 2006-10-18 15:51

I had that sourcecode liek 6 year back...

I want to know that too.

I figure all options do the same thing. Some programmer at Microsoft was just yanking our collective leg.

I believe abort meant terminate process; retry meant retry read operation, and fail means ok, pretend we've readed even though we haven't. Same goes for other operations.

But... no matter which one you pick, you'll be asked the same thing again.

No, Fail means terminate process, which is why it asks you for a drive letter and dumps you back to the command line. Abort asks the process nicely to stop, and the process decides on its own what it will do (which is why this always does unpredictable things).

void abortRetryFail()
{
    char response;
    puts(arfMsg);
    response = getChar();
    abortRetryFail();
}

Options should have been:

( ) Report error to process
( ) Report error to process
( ) Let's pretend it worked
( ) Ask politely to exit
( ) Kill that shit
( ) Random choice :D
[ ] Don't ask me this shit again for this process
[ ] Don't ask me this shit again for this session
[ ] Don't ever ask me this shit again

Perhaps we can steal it to develop AnonDOS!

Wtf "leaked"? I'm 99.999% sure that Microsoft officially released one of their older source codes.

Name: Anonymous 2009-02-24 20:43

This shit's ancient. The source code release, I mean.

Also,

!   MS-DOS.6.0.Source.Code.zip: CRC failed in c6ers\tools6\bin\nmake.exe. The file is corrupt
!   MS-DOS.6.0.Source.Code.zip: CRC failed in 45\beef\cw\tools\csl2.exe. The file is corrupt

I remember seeing this many many many years ago. I wonder if I still have a copy of it.

look at the date. >>1 is ancient. also, the IFCTF archive contains the ms-dos source code and some more interesting things too...

Meh, what the fuck am I meant to do with a 20 year old OS's source code? Get Windows 7 source code or something.

Please post link to Windows 7 source code or STFU.
