There's already Cobol on Cogs: http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM
The beauty of DoD is that they implemented it.
(Although it's not really DOS, see my other comment on this page.)

But COBOL on Crank just sounds better. Add Jason Statham typing away and well...you have something (not sure what exactly).
Definitely not the feel-good movie of the summer, that's for sure.
If you can't trust public visitors from the internet, who can you trust? Executing user input as commands inside the operating system is the most direct way to get things done, and that's what matters most. Isn't it?
Whenever I've opened up a DoD website to several users, my hard drive tends to get wiped long before I discover performance issues.
Does this work on DOSBOX? because I'm really interested in the project and want to deploy it on my linux boxes.
Nope.
It's not really using DOS, just the Batch interpreter of Windows shell (cmd.exe in NT). Some core source files are written in C# and VB, and there are referneces to VS 2003 in an XML config file.

Furthermore, AFAIK, DOSBox has no TCP/IP capabilities, but it emulates IPX and null/modem connections on top of the host's network stack.

/snip/ All the files you need for a modern MVC
application. Built on batch files.
IIS is a little hard to control from the console,
so you'll need to open IIS manager and register
your site manually. Read the sidebar about how
to do that.
(If we were using apache, tomcat or webrick we'd
be able to do this from the command-line with
ease. If I took this project more seriously, I
would have written a custom DOS-based web-server.
But then I guess I would've been an even more
depraved individual, so for now we're stuck with
IIS.)
finally someone that brings the joy of batch scripts to the web
Bonus: CSV supports sharding.
The company I am working at actually does something like this. Cgi with bash, awk and sed. Painful to code and at times limiting, but blazing fast.
I love it. So subtle irony towards the MVC...
I feel a little bit sick.
Its like Back to the Future! I feel like I'm in 1985!
This is very cool.
This is very cool.
This almost made me gag and weep at the same time.
Wait ... when did we start bashing MVC?
Now I realized why PHP developers selected '\' as a namespace character!
I can't wait for COBOL on Crank. Or Assembly on Acid.
(Sorry. I just had to do that. Don't know what's wrong with me today.)
Good stuff. Many times you can say more with satire than you can with diplomacy. Other times you're just being snarky. Tough call.
