i want to work on my DOS thing more but i don't want to type code in through dosbox but vscode c++ intellisense is too new to work with the borland headers and therefore just redsquiggles all of my code
i'm sure there's better ways to develop for DOS with modern tools and forego borland turbo c++ entirely but also i want to use it because it's easier to find period documentation for it

another reason why i don't want to use modern tools is that, say, the easy path of using DJGPP with GDB et al which you can already get an extension for is that DJGPP requires 386SX minimum because it doesn't make true DOS executables, but rather 32-bit protected mode binaries and i want to support XT-class machines
ohhhh there's a GCC fork that can produce IA-16 binaries.... 👀 👀 👀 https://github.com/tkchia/build-ia16/releases
