Visual C++ version 1.52 was a true DOS mode compiler. Everything after version 4.2 is 32 bit (not 16) and therefore, not true DOS mode.

If you're trying to print invoices in DOS, you're going to have to do lots of character based printing and fiddling to get the positions right on the page. You'll also have to worry about the number of lines per page, so you know when to do a page skip, etc. It's very time consuming. For example:

printf("@==================================\n");
printf("|                                 |\n");
printf("| Name: %25s |\n", sCustomerName);
printf("|                                 |\n");
printf("===================================\n");

and so on... have LOTS of fun! Hope this helps.
