Vector OS

Finally got passwords to work in Vector OS, that's one step closer to version 0.1 alpha

passwd.vcx is just an application to change the password, as you can see.
I'm trying to implement encryption, but it's not going well..

All the source is on GitHub http://github.com/omarrx024/vector!

Here's one step closer towards write access in my filesystem VectFS!
rm.vcx is simply a program that uses a system call to delete a file. Here, I deleted hello.vcx, which is just a Hello world application. Notice in the second "dir" directory listing that hello.vcx is not there!

Implementing write access is harder than I thought and it will take some more time.. But it will work!

Off topic note: The sources on GitHub are updated daily. That means the source for what I did today will be released tomorrow, and what I did tomorrow will be released on the day after, and so on.

Maybe you should add the build scripts to the GitHub repository too

Well, as of now, the only way to copy and move files on a VectFS filesystem is through using a hex editor, so without the disk image, a build script would be useless. This is why I won't release build scripts, instead I'll release disk images.

Finally, I can now make a new file in my VectFS filesystem! test.vcx is just an application that uses a system call to make a file called "myfile.sys", notice that in the second "dir" command, the file "myfile.sys" is there!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy! A great achievement after working on it for 5 days!!!!

My BMP file viewer worked perfectly, it just doesn't like this specific picture

Sorry for posting here too often!
I think a few days ago, I added the ability to create new files using a system call. Well, now I can save contents to those files using a system call!
As always, sources will be on GitHub tonight.

It's not much, but it's a start for my Window manager and Desktop!

I'm still trying to implement VESA without much luck :/
Sources as usual -- will be on GitHub tonight!

I must say, I'm proud of making it here!
it's time to finish the toolkit, and rewrite the text editor, password manager, etc.. to work as graphical applications.
Some this February, I will make a release.
To stay on topic, here's a screenie!

Just began work on my assembler.
As you can see, test.asm is a file with a single line that says "cli".
When we did "decdump", which actually dumps the contents of a file as decimal numbers to the screen, it came out as 00250, which is actually 0xFA in hex (see for yourself if you don't belive me xD) which is the opcode for "cli"!
I have a routine for reading files, writing files, sector-based I/O, text editor, uncomplete GUI, and soon an assembler! After the assembler is finished, I will make release 0.1.0 alpha codename "Lynx"! I can't belive I'm going to be self hosting by the first release without depending on GNU and other open source stuff !!

To omarrx024:
Do you happen to release the specs of your filesystem? I find it really interesting and I am just starting an OS project. If you don't mind, can you give me a basic idea of your filesystem? Maybe code from your filesystem driver?

Thank you.

Thanks for your interest in my OS. Give me your email address and I will send it to you. If you want source code from my driver, my project is open source. See my GitHub repository if you want source code.
