Weird that for a couple minutes, these paths existed: * https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0/bin https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4

  It is all the MT-DOS content; binaries and docs.

  They just changed the folder. All of those files are now in https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0-ozzie https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0-ozzie
• willxinc 2y ago
  Looks like they were moved to the Ozzie subfolder: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0-ozzie https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0-ozzie

    That was literally just added; I have a tab open that doesn't have that folder. This is wild and strangely exciting to see released in real time.
    • shanselman 2y ago
      Ya we wanted to separate the MS-DOS and MT-DOS stuff, it was confusing as it was
      • rnd0 2y ago
        I'm not complaining, that's for sure! Thanks for all you're doing.

  They force-pushed the repo to remove an insult towards Tim Patterson in one of the source files.
  • esafak 2y ago
    Don't leave us hanging!!
    • farmerbb 2y ago
      At https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/blob/main/v4.0/src/DOS/STRIN.ASM#L70 https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/blob/main/v4.0/src/DOS/S... it used to have Tim Patterson's full name whereas after the force push they abbreviated it to his initials "TP". I had the repo cloned before the force push and when I went to pull it, this file was the only one that contained a conflict.

        Looks like the handiwork of Mark Zbikowski, whose initials adorn every EXE file. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zbikowski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zbikowski
        • farmerbb 2y ago
          Mark is the one that committed today's source release, going off of the "MZ is back" commit message from GitHub user "mzbik".

  Ya sorry we're moving stuff around
  • rwl4 2y ago
    Well, thanks for putting this up! It's really a treasure for those of us who used it as our daily driver so many years ago.
  • rozzie 2y ago
    Thx for clearing the rights and for releasing, Scott. And of course thanks to Microsoft and IBM. It would be fun at some point down the road to get some of the older code building and running again - particularly '84/'85-vintage Windows & Notes builds. Quite a lot of work, though, not just because of hardware but also likely because of toolchain gaps.
  • Karellen 2y ago
    Why is that, no matter how much you check and proofread your work before you push/publish, you'll always find something obvious you missed 5 minutes after it's gone up? To change a public branch, or not to change a public branch, that is the question. Edit: Muphry's law strikes again - s/or to not/or not to/
