Also @sortie does not post often, but when he does he blows us all away. Mind-blowing!

About time Sortie! I can finally use your OS because it has glorious ed!sortie wrote: Vim is cool and all, but it became obvious I needed a port of the standard editor:
I suggest you actually read about my OS. That sentence did not mean third party software is prohibited, but just that so far no editors had been ported. The programmer specification is the C standard as of 2011 and the international POSIX 2008 standard with a bunch of de-facto extensions from existing systems and a bit of my own. All of the source code (including ports) is available and you can study the libc headers to see what it provides. All this stuff is well documented and Unix users have manual pages that mostly apply as well. In other words, it's totally doable to develop for my system and everybody can port stuff. But despite all this, people haven't ported much, except a few minor ports recently. The ed port was contributed, but that was essentially just packaging up a couple of C source files from OpenBSD. I'd happily welcome help with ports. It's a bit difficult though. If one has completed Linux From Scratch, and wants something harder, why not contribute to my ports system?Lukand wrote:"No third party editors" - Sortie
If you would publish programmer specification for Sortix OS maybe somebody could port & compile their third party editor themselves, and in such way you would never need to port something third-party yourself.
Omg, Roman, you've did amazing work, at least for me.Roman wrote:Didn't post here for a long time...
Here's a shot of the boot loader (or more correctly the Linux kernel booted by it) I'm currently working on.

At the moment I have some basic features like VFS, formatted output and keyboard input. My todo list includes graphics output, menu config file parsing and, of course, designing and implementing my kernel boot protocol.
zenzizenzicube, I like your OS. It looks like my TimerOS's first version.zenzizenzicube wrote:
Using the EFI Runtime Services to get the current time
Cool! Wouldn't be a nice idea to create your own bootloader for such an advanced operating system?Roman wrote:Didn't post here for a long time...
