   FreeDOS might have something to say about that. v1.3 released 20 February   
   2022. Just sayin'.   
      
   But yes, I do in fact still use DOS on a regular basis, and even program for   
   it. (Windows 9x, not so much.) I'm currently working on an app that will   
   include a DOS release, alongside Windows, Linux, MacOS, BSD, OS/2, Android,   
   and iOS. (Why? Because I use all of them. And because I can.)
