MS-DOS is now open source, so in a time honored tradition. Lets look for curse words!

That damn C compiler, always up to no good.

And there we go, actually not bad for a source codebase. Go read it.

@gsuberland @olafurw That feels like there's been some unstated four-letter words about a certain three-letter OEM. 😁

@olafurw I'll admit a little envy seeing the swears still in there. I once managed to hold up a release of the Xbox OS due to a comment I accidentally checked in describing the resolution of Xbox 360 profile pictures as "crappy" and that triggered a red flag from the policheck source code scan. Ooops 😅

I still maintain that the images were crappy though. Like 128x128 resolution I think? 🙂

A competition to find the data structure and calls that brought about the FTC case that eventually led to the settlement between MS and Novell/Caldera who held DR DOS at the time, might be more interesting.
