Hi Liam, thanks for pointing out the link to the Oberon on DOS. I downloaded the files indicated from sourceforge.net
Starting the Oberon SYSTEM.EXE creates around 255 new files… It needs HIMEM.SYS However… things like this makes me quickly return to Freedos bare metal: just a few system files and booting in no time… I am not sure if the extra miles are really worth it, haven’t got that time either. Although it sounds quite interesting. It is strange that some things do not really catch on or persist (3 button mouse, for example). thx, Th. > Am 21.06.2021 um 15:05 schrieb Liam Proven <lpro...@gmail.com>: > > On Mon, 21 Jun 2021 at 05:42, Mart Zirnask <martzirn...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> However, I am a fan of the Sam text editor, originally developed for >> the Plan 9 OS. > > SAM, Acme and the Plan 9 Rio environment were inspired by Niklaus > Wirth's Oberon environment. > > The UI is quite similar to the Oberon UI. > > Quick intro: > http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2009/04/22/oberon/ > > Wikipedia article: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system) > > Some of the history: > https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Articles/LeanSoftware.pdf > > Academic assessment: > http://people.cis.ksu.edu//~danielwang/Investigation/System_Security/download.pdf > (Warning, non HTTPS link, but it's real, valid and safe.) > > Thus, you might find it interesting and instructive to check out Oberon. > > Modern versions run on top of Windows, macOS and Linux, but it also > used to run on top of DOS if that's what you want. > > https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosoberon/files/DOS%20Oberon%20System%203%20Version%202.0/ > > -- > Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven > Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com > Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven > UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
