Your question isn't about C or C++, its about MSDOS. Therefore I suggest you
ask in an MSDOS programming NG, for instance news:comp.os.msdos.programmer.

Why isn't this obvious? comp.lang.c++ gets hundreds of posts like this every
day, believe it or not the C++ language exists independently of MSDOS,
Windows or any other particular type of machine.
