OSDev.org

A new monthly release ...
for Solar_OS

Binary: http://www.oby.ro/os/files/sol_os_2006_07_12_bin.zip
Screen shots: http://www.oby.ro/os/os_screen.htm

New Things:

1)Sol_Tris Game
----------------------
A graphical Tetris like game
so let me know your high scores.

Funny but Sol_OS did lacked games.
(I agree we need many other things)

3)ACT_NOTIFY callback
--------------------------
For backgrund tasks.

It allows applications to run when minimized
and/or are in another hidden desktop
without adding a timer or becoming a service.

Adds better sepparation of PAINT and RUN methods.

4)ListView control
-----------------------
You know, drag the headers...
I still have to add small icons and view modes to it

5)FDISK becomes more NTFS aware
-----------------------------------
In preparations for NTFS filesystem browse.

In FDISK APP if you press Enter on a NTFS partition
and read BPB in the upcoming Details window -->
then you will find some MFT and FileRecords info

But the transition is mainly internal since analysis and
functions are added in order to support NTFS.

Great work bontanu, i have add alink to your web site, from mine.

Cool thanks.

Hi Solar..
Really great work.. Your GUI is really awesome.. Keep it up...

Thank you for your kind words viral...

But my name is Bogdan Valentin Ontanu... not Solar

SOLAR is the name of the OS... but it is not writting himself...
at least not for now

Bogdan Valentin Ontanu

is that german or something cause that looks really wierd and not even going to try pronouncing it(I'm american)

Floppy doesn't boot on my AMD64 3400+ (freezes at selection screen, without the selection)... works in VMWare.

"Floopy" is spelled wrong.

to hckr83:
-------------

Nope,it is Romanian

"Bogdan" - is in fact slavonic but it is also a common name in Romania
"Valentin" - Valentine ..i guess you have the same in US?
"Ontanu" - pronounced "Ontzanu", looks german indeed but it means highlander, aka the man that live on the "Oantzu" mountain hence "Ontzanu" something like new yorker

Funny is that the village where this name originates is nearby a city that is named "The Stone of the German"

to Spook:
-------------
Thank you for testing, and reporting (works in VMware is good news)
Maybe it could be an floppy read error?

But then again i did not checked the floppy load lately... since i do not have a floppy on my lapop anymore... I will check

What did you put in floppy? the .DSK or the .BIN file?
