Whoa there. Gotta run Doom and BASIC to compete with DOS. That is the officially recognized DOS-Kármán line.

- krustowski 1y agoWhat a challenge! Need to implement some interrupts it seems then, to provide an API for filesystem and so... Thank you for such idea
- rollcat 1y agoDOOM required DOS 5.0. rou2exOS is only the second take. Watch this area ;)
- jdsully 1y agoNobody cares about Lotus 1-2-3 support any longer :)
- jmspring 1y agoWhat about Wordstar?
- hans_castorp 1y agoWordPerfect was better anyway :) (SCNR)
- RoyTyrell 1y agoThe text editor JOE has a WordStar mode.
- mycall 1y agoalso, can't be a dos with the 'dir' command.
- krustowski 1y agoAfaik there is a 'DIR' command in MS-DOS. Anyway, what would be a better command to list a directory? I could think of 'ls' maybe
- rzzzt 1y agoCATALOG, DSPFLR, Get-ChildItem
- onre 1y agoI would most likely end up with something like this: CAT CATalogue - output the contents of current directory RM to Raster Memory - load contents of named file in framebuffer MV Make Virtual - map the file into memory and output the address LS Load System - attempt to reboot using the named file as the kernel CD Create Directory - self-explanatory SH System Halt - immediately stop all processing ...and so on.
- anyfoo 1y agoVery good design. Implements only the essential tasks an operator would need with concise and well-known mnemonics. I’m sure this will be immediately intuitive to anyone, with no potential for mistakes whatsoever.
- OccamsMirror 1y agoI suggest: RM Relocate me - you could also use the "-rf" flag to relative fuzzy matching, for instance `rm -rf tmp` to find any temp-like folder near your current location. Pretty standard stuff. CD Clear data - `cd -L /temp` would "liquidate" the directory. This would be a much simpler command interface.
