C With Assembly Language typed code snippets from Brady book by Steven Holzner. This repo is setup for me to practice Git and GitHub for my hobby. I am going through an old book for history and geeky fun. I figured I would make a repo to add the code to my GitHub and it also helps muscle memory by practicing.
Some of the code does not show any names of the c files in the book. I have done my best to name them fitting for what they do.
ISBN: 0-13-010968-1
The way the book is written, not all of the code snippets will be typed. The snippets that are complete I.E. filer.c will be typed up and uploaded.
I am using Dos 6.22 with Microsoft QuickC 2.0. I do have MASM 5.1 installed on the machine. It is running on PCem17 with a Socket 7 Intel 233Mhz with MMX and 32MB of memory.
The book is setup for QuickC or TurboC. The snippets may be available on archive, I did not look. I figured I needed the practice.
Although I have discovered it is possible to get a very duck taped network setup for contributing to GitHub directly from Dos 6.22. It was too much of a hassle if wanting to compile on the same machine. I wouldn't consider it good for production even if it did work. I am typing the code in vscode on my local machine. Then I move the files over to compile, build, and test on the DOS machine.
My workflow for above is mounting the VHD created when making the PCem machine. I then just copy the repo over to a folder on the dos drive. The book is setup for 8.3 filenames already and I have been careful in trying to make sure that everything in the repo is compatible with 8.3 filenames for anything I find that might be relevent and add to the repo. .gitignore is currently the only filename that gets truncated, but I delete it before dismounting and booting the dos machine.
