Let's get MS-DOS 6.22. :)
- anticensor 3y agoAnd Windows XP.
- petercooper 3y agoOr if we need to start the bidding low.. QBasic, perhaps? :)
- speps 3y agoSorry they started even lower actually! GW-BASIC! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/microsoft-open-sources-gw-basic/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/microsoft-open-so...
- petercooper 3y agoHaha, yes! Although I'm being a bit sneaky, because QBasic would also indirectly get us Edit, I think ;-) It'd be interesting to see the code behind the 90s DOS IDEs.
- falalalala 3y agoGw-basic looks a lot like what command.com should have been.
- fuzztester 3y agoKids these days ... billg's very first BASIC, which he wrote on a night flight from Albuguerque to NY, or some such, for the Altair. 'Sbin a few decades, so ah disremember. See Ichbiah's Le Nouveaux Magiciens. Google ichbiah nouveax magiciens And, get off my lawn! Grrr. ;-)
- rasz 3y agoXP or its parts leaked. Surprisingly Win95 codebase never saw the light of day.
- accrual 3y agoI kind of wish 95 or 98 would leak so we could more effectively patch it. I would love to see a modern TLS implementation running on 9x, it's one of the main barriers to browsing on old machines. I suppose Retrozilla comes close. Kind of a silly thing to want, and of course "unsafe" for many tasks, but fun for hobbyists nonetheless.
- guestbest 3y agoI’d say that DOS 3.3 and 5.0 are probably the most desirable for pre-386 intel compatible processors systems
- johnnyballgame 3y agoAnd FoxPro! :)
- fuzztester 3y agoAnd Foxbase, its ancestor.
- Hrundi 3y ago6.22's source code was readily shared by some russians back in 2002 or so, and it was the real deal
- rasz 3y agoI thinks its a 6.00 beta
- sillywalk 3y agoMidori would be cool to see as well
