    Any tips?

    If you have to ask.... perhaps you should rethink? I wrote one back in college, mostly because I couldn't afford the ProDOS upgrade to my Apple ][ and I was bored. Do something unusual like I did like provide a Lexical Analysis front end (natural speech understanding) or real-time event management. Just making an OS for the heck of it is not a great idea. Doing so to learn how one does it, that's a reasonable idea. But if you have to ask for help, you are not ready to write an OS. Perhaps you can study all the work on Linux, FreeDOS, and others first? The time it would take a single person to write a modern OS is too long. Sure you could probably write a text DOS like FreeDOS in a few weeks if you had nothing else to do, but to hand it out? Linux and Windows all have graphical front ends, so to make it modernly "useful" you have several years worth of individual work. Why not put some of the effort into improving what is available rather than writing something new? Though if you want to rewrite my LANA OS, I won't complain, but the Cheryl Tiegs front end is rather old for today's world (and shows when I wrote it). You might want to upgrade that interface to a newer uh... "model" (pun intended). _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                How about selling coffee to humans? Then you have a business model that may be realised by about 2020. The DJ's took pills to stay awake and play for seven days. - Jim Morrison, Black Polished Chrome.

                                          Why dont u keep it OwnerX? or say nanX? The name of the OS should be somthing related to the operation of ur OS. R U going to do this single handed?:sigh: :cool: Vikas Amin Embin Technology Bombay vikas.amin@embin.com
