| Whoa there. Gotta run Doom and BASIC to compete with DOS. That is the officially recognized DOS-Kármán line. |

| What a challenge! Need to implement some interrupts it seems then, to provide an API for filesystem and so... Thank you for such idea |

| DOOM required DOS 5.0. rou2exOS is only the second take. Watch this area ;) |

| also, can't be a dos with the 'dir' command. |
| |
| ▲ | krustowski 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Afaik there is a 'DIR' command in MS-DOS. Anyway, what would be a better command to list a directory? I could think of 'ls' maybe | | |
| ▲ | onre 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I would most likely end up with something like this: CAT CATalogue - output the contents of current directory
RM to Raster Memory - load contents of named file in framebuffer
MV Make Virtual - map the file into memory and output the address
LS Load System - attempt to reboot using the named file as the kernel
CD Create Directory - self-explanatory
SH System Halt - immediately stop all processing
...and so on. | | |
| ▲ | OccamsMirror 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I suggest: RM Relocate me - you could also use the "-rf" flag to relative fuzzy matching, for instance `rm -rf tmp` to find any temp-like folder near your current location. Pretty standard stuff.
CD Clear data - `cd -L /temp` would "liquidate" the directory.
This would be a much simpler command interface. | |
| ▲ | GTP 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | To create a file, we should take inspiration from TOPS-10 and call the command `make` [0]. When issuing `make love`, it should ask for confirmation to the user: `not war?`. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media) | |
| ▲ | anyfoo 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Very good design. Implements only the essential tasks an operator would need with concise and well-known mnemonics. I’m sure this will be immediately intuitive to anyone, with no potential for mistakes whatsoever. | |

| ▲ | pjmlp 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | As someone old enough to have started on MS-DOS 3.3, dir has been there all time. | |

| ▲ | guestbest 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It would seem to logically follow that a Disk Operating System would have a directory list utility for disks like ‘dir’. It was there in the first version called 86 DOS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS | | |
| ▲ | AndrewDavis 3 days ago | parent [-] | | `dir` was also in CP/M. Though it didn't have a concept of a file hierarchy, so it listed all files on the disk (but did support supplying a pattern to filter against). |
