Top Document: comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ part 1/5 Previous Document: Next Document: See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge First you need to try to determine whether the problem is in your use of the programming language or in your use of MS-DOS and your PC hardware. (Your manual should tell you which features are standard and which are vendor- or MS DOS- or PC-specific. You have read your manual carefully, haven't you?) If the feature that seems to be working wrong is something related to your PC hardware or to the internals of MS-DOS, this group is the right place to ask. (Please check this FAQ list first, to make sure your question isn't already answered here.) On the other hand, if your problem is with the programming language, the comp.lang hierarchy (including comp.lang.pascal.* and comp.lang.c) is probably a better resource. Please read the other group's FAQ list thoroughly before posting. (These exist in comp.lang.c, comp.lang.c++, comp.lang.modula3, comp.lang.lisp, comp.lang.perl; they may exist in other groups as well. comp.lang.pascal.borland has a Mini-FAQ.) It's almost never a good idea to crosspost between comp.os.msdos.programmer and a language group. Before posting in either place, try to make your program as small as possible while still exhibiting the bad behavior. Sometimes this alone is enough to show you where the trouble is. Also edit your description of the problem to be as short as possible. This makes it look more like you tried to solve the problem on your own, and makes people more inclined to try to help you.
