   The state of DOS in 2019   
   17 Feb 19 17:56:35   
   
   I thought I'd leverage this echo to see what people are doing with DOS and DOS   
   environments these days.   
      
   I run my BBS in 32-bit Windows, and have leveraged the DOSVDM in it to run my   
   old BBS QWK environment. Some programs seem choppy, especially the one app I   
   use all the time in DOS - Qedit.   
      
   I started using DOSBox-SVN Daum, a 64-bit DOS port, under 64 bit Windows 10.   
   With it, I get telnet to comm-port redirection, a full-screen font that renders   
   80x24 text nicely on a wide screen, and lets me run my old COMM programs well;   
   there's a weird issue with uploads I can't solve. But, it's nice to emulate the   
   environment I'm so comfortable with.
