Well to keep it in DOS use the debug command for that. You'll also
need a good guide to the available interrupts - ISTR the best one
was from Ralf Brown but that is going back quite a while.

That's probably not the solution for you though. Look into the
various HLLs that are available - C, Basic, Pascal etc. Some
versions of DOS included a Basic interpreter which excitingly may
or may not be compatible with the interpreter found on other versions
of DOS.

What does this have to do with astronomy? You'll be a lot better
off asking in a relevant group.

You dont' make programs in DOS. DOS is an operating system. You make
programs in a programming language and then compile them to run under
DOS.

Um, no.

Batch.

Assuming that the two previous posters both mean MS-DOS or any of the
functional equivalents...

And then there is always Steve Ciarcia's POV ("My favourite programming
language is solder").

Sky and Tel has some basic programs which you can run in DOS. Years ago
I translated them to REXX for OS/2 and currently run them in Linux on
occasion but these programs have been superseeded by far superior ones
such as XEPHEM which is free for simple, inexpensive for full, package.
