This isn't really about ChatGPT, at all, but really more about what it takes to write a networked app on DOS. My very first thought was to wonder what the developer used for a TCP/IP stack. My second thought was what sort of network adapter he used. Best case: maybe old 10 Mbps ethernet over coax? Don't forget your 150 ohm terminators!

I don't really get the point about threading. If I were writing a simple, command line network client app on Linux, it probably wouldn't be multi-threaded.

Also, I'd be surprised if there isn't some C89-compliant JSON parser out there, somewhere. It's easy enough to parse, but I'd still try to use a library, if I could.
