Download H.A.R.E.'s HOPPY operating system. Warning!!! FAT32 support is not complete. There is a danger of corrupting other partitions as freespace is used-up. Periodically perform a defrag on the partition from Windows or write your own defrag--it's not hard. Disk access is not very robust, yet. Features:
Updates: 1/28/04: Added system clipboard 1/27/04: Improved Stars-n-Bars, saved joystick calibration info 1/26/04: Improved file and directory code. 1/23/04: Made an application--Stars-n-bars (STARNBAR.CPP). Reviewing what changes are needed to the operating system to facilitate applications. 1/22/04: Applications (and the command line) can have combination menu/help/macro files accessed by the WINDOWS key or button #2 on the joystick. The menu choice number is placed first on the line. A zero will do nothing. A "9999" allow you to select a macro. (Macro's don't work yet except for the command line.) 1/21/04: Implemented menu's but I'm not sure I'm going to keep this scheme. 1/20/04: Implemented support for "callback" functions. Note, addresses of functions are denoted with an "&" in front. 1/18/04: Implemented default function parameters. Now, ' dir("*"); ' is replaced by ' dir; '. 1/17/04: Added cursor repositioning with joystick. Note: once callbacks are supported, there will be a callback for converting from screen coordinates to data position. I hope to create a memory and disk block editor using the linked_text_file support and eventually a budget program with the same editor. There will be a callbacks to convert from data to text and from screen position to data position. I decided I'm going to proceed being as non-redundant as possible. (I was working on adding mouse support, but decided a joystick is good enough for now. Eventually, I hope to have a custom input device anyway. I'm not sure what to do about a new file system. It's a low priority since FAT32 gets the job done, but I don't want to create extra work down the road. So, I will implement layers in both of these cases to avoid converting down the road.) |
