I had tried that, but it dosen't work.

Just put up the newest release of Dreckig OS.
v0.006!
Highlights include a working RAM disk in bFS, a custom file system I designed.
Also task and lang can now handle files.

Try this: (do not type , or hit enter. Instead hit enter key)
-Boot Dreckig OS.
-Type dte, hit enter
-Type test, hit enter
-Type time, hit enter
-Type date, hit enter
-Type info, hit enter
-Type quit, hit enter
This makes a script called test that will print the time, date, and run info.
Now just type test at the command line and it will run the script.

For lang try this: (same as above)
-Type dte, hit enter
-Type test2, hit enter
-Type Time: >, hit enter
-Type # time, hit enter
-Type Name? >, hit enter
-Type <, hit enter
-Type var >, hit enter
-Type quit, hit enter
This makes a Dreckig Lang file that you can run in lang.
Now just type lang, then when prompted for a NAME> type test2.

Oh! And a big bug that I hadn't yet identified!
Due to a small design oversight early in development I never set up Dreckig to handle back spaces. So if you use a backspace it messes stuff up. UPDATE: Just got a reply and fix. Net release will be backspace compliant. v0.006 still won't work with backspaces, though.

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:33 am

To those interested I just put up the next installment of Dreckig OS.
Now with backspaces!

Ok. Just put up the new release, v0.006.2 of Dreckig OS.
I added a some functionality to lang.
For example, here is a file called test:

Code:

?> <
# var
run test

Write this in dte, and run in lang and it makes an infinite loop that can function as a command line!
I am working on gearing Dreckig Lang, the language lang interprets, towards making custom user interfaces in Dreckig OS.

This is pretty cool. I haven't had a chance to look at the assembly yet; I saw someone has already tested with 8086 but had an invalid opcode. I have an old PC-XT that I'm currently working on. I'll have to load a copy onto the 360k floppy and give that a shot. It'll probably choke on the 8088, too, but might be an interesting study and will most definitely help refresh my very poor assembly language.

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sat Apr 14, 2012 1:16 am

Ok. Just put up the newest version of Dreckig OS.
Has a few tweaks to the file system, and I integrated the LANG interpreter into the default shell, so you can run commands in Dreckig Lang direct from the shell.
I also put up a Dreckig Lang interpreter I wrote in perl, it works on any system with perl and gcc, sadly it doesn't make software Dreckig OS can use, but it is still fun to mess with.

you should make a shutdown command if you have a reboot command

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2012 12:37 am

I would, but I would have to implement ACPI, which is complicated and can be different between computers. You can use the off command, which does stop Dreckig, but does not shut down the computer.

You cannot program an ACPI with assembly code. It is impossible to do so.

gamelover101 · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Tue May 15, 2012 2:31 am

Testing this out in Virtualbox right now. Not bad! 3 things:

1. I see a typo in the info command. It shoudl be copyright, not copywrite,

2. WIND is an interesting GUI, but I'm not sure how to use it.
3. I suggest you implement a color command, that changes the color of the text and background of the OS. Similar to the MSDOS color command in Windows, I guess.

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Tue May 15, 2012 3:37 am

Arghh! I am once again a victim of the English language.

Anyway, thanks for looking at Dreckig.
WIND, instead of using the mouse, uses the up/down arrows on the keyboard, you use them to select an icon in the icon bar, and then use enter to launch the icon.
Also, you can hit the space bar to use the command input box at the top.

What are WIND's features? What is it for? A file manager? Task Manager? :beta:

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 12:14 am

Mainly, WIND is just a GUI demo right now.
WIND has the capabilities of making windows, dialogs, input boxes, and some other basic GUI features. But right now I have it set up to have a bouncing ball demo, a few ways to access the command line, an info box, and a way to exit to the CLI.

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sat May 26, 2012 12:17 am

Finally,
Here is the much-delayed next release of Dreckig OS.
v0.006.4
I am pushing now more toward improving the programming language, Dreckig Lang, so I removed WIND, and did quite a lot of work on LANG and bFS.
I have now put in file handling for Dreckig Lang, and a few tweaks to accommodate for it.
If anyone is mad I removed WIND, then speak now!
Seriously, if you want to see WIND back up then tell me, I can set you up to fork and start developing WIND further. I will return to my GUI one day, just right now there are bigger priorities.

Terra854 · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sun May 27, 2012 9:46 am

Seriously, why did you remove WIND? I really want WIND to be back into DreckigOS!

(added on 30/5)

Anyway, I had acquired the source code for WIND , so i will be in charge of development of WIND. Any problems with WIND, contact me!

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:35 pm

Sweet.
If you, or anyone else,
needs any help on how to work with WIND and it's resources, give me a ring.

Why not use APM, then? It's pretty easy.

GAT · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Sun Jun 03, 2012 5:06 pm

I have set up Dreckig to use APM in the past, but it only works on older systems, so I left that out of the actual release.

BTW, woot!
I just set up my file system in Dreckig so files can be any length! (in theory...)

Maybe this could help you? It's code from CORE OS, I was figuring out how to do it for about 1 week

writeln "" is a macro I wrote to save time for writing "mov si, msg_blahblash [...]". If you want it, just let me know. I think you know how to replace it with DBs and print_string function?

Have you ever tested the code?

Ciastex · **Post subject:** Re: Dreckig OS **Posted:** Fri Jun 08, 2012 11:49 am

Yes I tested it. It's in my assembly operating system, so... Oops, I forgot to mention that you have to delete these lines:

Code:

   mov ax, shutdown_title
   mov bx, shutdown_question
   mov dx, 1
   call msgbox_yesno
      cmp ax, 0
      je .shutdown_start
   jmp cmd_main
   .shutdown_start:

And replace jmp cmd_main with jump to your main commandline start routine.

One would think so, and this is a real custom OS (as far as I know). But I can't remember seeing this before, I need to check this out. I remember some other OS, but I don't think it was drecking, and it looked different, I need to test this and see if the other project has had any progress. Maybe Sunday.

FZ/OS, CiastOS, HeinanOS, CORE OS and of course DreckigOS, they're all written from scratch with assembly (HeinanOS is written in C/C++ and some Assembly, if I remember it).
