Message-ID: <19970915223510.AAA31159@gfn1-p9.telepac.pt> Precedence: bulk regarding this thread, there was some time ago a similar talk in the demoscene: the demOS project. it would be a 32-bit OS (though not DOS), designed to give complete hardware acesss, soundcard drivers, video drivers and a command line interface, all to run demos at the fastest possible speed. it wasn't released (i guess it wasn't even started), mainly because someone realised that noone would install a new OS just to view/code demos. a 32bit dos would be cool to have, but I guess it isn't the only choice.. why re-invent the wheel one more time, with something as critical as a OS? why not stick with an existing 32-bit OS? for those who do not like Win95/NT, there are more 32bit OSs. I use OS/2 Warp and I love it.. I do all my DJGPP programming under it.. I only wish it had dos long filename support on HPFS partitions, where I have DJGPP installed... but this is a limitation of OS/2, not DJGPP fault... coming to think of it, should be easy for someone to enable LFN support in HPFS drives... volunteers? :) || pedro jose' da silva cardoso, garfield / rd || pcardoso AT mail DOT telepac DOT pt || djgpp - os/2 warp - impulse tracker - gravis ultrasound - demoscene || "a sufficiently high level of technology is indistinguishable from || magic." -- arthur c. clarke || pedro jose' da silva cardoso, garfield / rd || pcardoso AT mail DOT telepac DOT pt || djgpp - os/2 warp - impulse tracker - gravis ultrasound - demoscene || "a sufficiently high level of technology is indistinguishable from || magic." -- arthur c. clarke
