MS-DOS Graphical Installer
Hello everyone!!!
I am making a baby-mode installer of DOS
This new generation... Doesn't realize the pain, sweat, blood and tears we put into installing MS-DOS, Fdisk, format, sys... Copy command.com c:...
Welp, the new generation won't suffer now because I'm making a graphical installer of MS-DOS.
This is my code, can somebody help me put it into a 360k, 720k, 1.2m and 1.44m image, along with a 4.01 Command.com & autoexec.bat that automatically executes this Batch file?
Winimage somehow corrupts it and it doesn't boot.
