Hi,
here's a floppy image of my real mode os,it supports FAT12
a shell seperated from the kernel,some int 21h functions so,
it can load and execute programs.
It's written fully with asm
would you please test it and tell me what do you think?
more testing means discovering more bugs,so please if you find one
let me know about it.
Thanx.

Code: Select all
A:\dir
KERNEL CNY
CLI CNY
PITMAN COM
STAKAN BIN
TETRIS COM
A:\pitman
bad command
A:\tetris
bad command
A:\tetris.com
bad command
A:\TETRIS
bad command
A:\TETRIS.COM
bad command
A:\
Could you post a manual please?
P.S. Also, the screen does not scroll when the bottom is reached. The program hangs when a dot is entered. Hitting CTRL-X makes the cursor go wild.

Hi abuashraf!
I've tested your OS and what I found.
Dot character halts system. Most of commands freezes the system, Enter key unfreezes it. Hitting Enter on empty command line (A:\) just prints "bad command". I think it should print command prompt. Help command following md kk and dir commands makes file names printed without first letter e.g. should be KERNEL but was ERNEL and so on. load cli and read without parameters halts OS. There's no history in cli and up arrow key makes the cursor to go one position to the right. md dirname and entering numbers (not numpad) gives random ASCII chars. Entering very long command more than 11 lines causes chars to go uppercase.
Tested in VirtualBox 2.1.4 on Win Vista.
What I saw in 5 minutes testing.
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
the cli.cny is a littel stupid,and it needs alot of improvement anyway,
here's how you enter a command:
for examples let's try to make a new directory called folder:
md hit enter
folder hit enter
That's it.

That's counterintuitive. Most - if not all - OSes use something along the lines of "md <space> <foldername> <hit enter>".
