re: #291 negativ

DOS 5.0 was superior in every way to 6.x - it had native memory management tools (HAY GUISE REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD TO MANAGE MEMORY! I MEAN LIKE WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EMS AND XMS AND HIMEM.SYS AND EMM386.EXE LOL MATH IS HARD LET’S GO SHOPPING) that were stable and did what they were supposed to do.

However, I won’t sit idly by and have some ne’er-do-well assert that Windows 3.11 was superior to OS/2. If you insist on pursuing this course, I’m afraid I’ll have no choice but to ask you to step outside!

was windows 3.11 superior to anything?

i vividly remember the poor memory layout of win 3.1, where system memory that managed the GUI was apparently butt up against allocations for pgm memory. working in ‘C’, all you had to do was overwrite outside of legal memory for a few bytes and pretty soon the system would be putting up funky ass semi transparent displays
