Setup Environment

• Install MS-DOS under VirtualBox. See: How to Install DOS 6.22 Under VirtualBox
• Copy source files to MS-DOS guest. You should first create a virtual floppy disk and insert it into VirtualBox. See: Using MagicISO to create floppy disk image

Why should your first programming be C++98 ?

The Old C++98 is more of a minefield, and it's nice to learn how to navigate such a beast. It will also make you understand why things are done how they are, and what the implications of different constructs are.
