DOS ain't dead

I) About

This forum evolved from a standard support forum for our customers to a very popular forum for all users running DOS-compatible operating systems on 80x86-based computers. So I hereby invite you to stay a while and read/discuss any DOS-related problems.

V) BBCode tags supported

BBCode is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format messages.
BBCode tags are enclosed in square braces `[' and `]' surrounding a keyword.
So you have to replace all curly braces `{' and `}' to make those tags working in your messages.
(I'm using curly braces here to disable their parsing by the forum software.)
