The guys at GridWorks love this superior OS.
We use it for our everyday tasks more and more. We've released several Distros. The latest "EZ" Distro(s) (2-18-2005) Floppy disk maker @ http://www.wemakeitbig.com/meos/P6EZB218.7z iso @ http://www.wemakeitbig.com/meos/P6EZB.7z This starts up w FAT32 enabled. use EXITHD from desktop to auto-update HD (msetup.exe) use m.com as first line of autoexec.bat to have dual boot system. see README for autoserver instructions. Archived Distros ez927.7Z (09/27/04) www.wemakeitbig.com/meos/EZ927.7Z 0.78p3 on: (9/12/04) are available from www.geocities.com/wemakeitbig * New AutoServer w/more NIC support.* Archive DownLoad Sites: www.geocities.com/MenuetUSA or http://www.geocities.com/bloglite Try the DEMO "AutoBoot to Application" iso. Burn a CD. Boot from it and it sets up mode 1 vga @640x480 /ps2mouse and Automatically starts a Slideshow of 100 jpg images from the ramdrive. Looping display is not escapable. Reset to quit. New pdf w/schematic @ the end of this thread. Build a BlogLite blinking thing. On a tangent . SVG Scalable Vector Graphics ** Menuet Server full of these See Mark's SVG Maxi-Clock (5/25/04) *(F11) for full screen kiosk mode @ http://www.wemakeitbig.com/clock7a.svg While viewing a svg right click and view source . Too cool. Stay tuned to this forum for more information. Matt Wbshome@excite.com Last edited by bloglite on 25 Mar 2005, 16:24; edited 17 times in total |

Autoboot sounds amazing and I hope its gets integrated into the original MenuetOS as well!

There's nothing wrong in making another file manager. It will extent menuet native application base, which is quite small now.
I'm working on my MGTK library in C++  I'm working on text editor class now, so if you want to make simpliest text editor app you simply do:
Code: GApplication * app; /* base application class */ GTextEditor * editor; /* pointer for editor object */ GRect R; /* defines rectangle */ ... ... extern "C" void app_main(void) { ... ... R.Assign(10,10,320,200); /* put editor at 10,10 with size 320x200 */ editor=new GTextEditor(&r); /* allocate editor object */ app->Insert(editor); /* insert editor to application */ ... app->Run(); /* start application event loop */ app->Done(); /* this destroys everything */ } I've skipped few lines of code (initializing app) to make it clear. I have almost ready GEditorCore class which is core for editing text, e.g. searching text, cut, pase, copy, etc. It also has clipboard which can contain text,binary or image. GEditorCore doesn't display anything. Backends will for example be: GTextEditor - simple text editor GCodeEditor - editor for programming languages (with coloured syntax)

Quote: nice, but dont like the green look.. :p You can change it: 1) Run DESKTOP program and create new DTP file. 2) Change color in GRSCREEN.ASM, Replace "CGREEN.DTP" by "<yourfilename>.DTP". Compile it. Don't forget to save ramdisk! 3) To change skin you have to recompile the kernel. Decompress it to some directory on the hard disk, then copy all files from "oldskin" directory to the folder with sources, copy FASM.EXE to that folder, run build_kernel.bat. After all place KERNEL.MNT to floppy. That's all! |

I looked at your distribution and I have few questions to you:
1) Why did you translate russian strings in 15.asm? Many programs in MeOS RE are both russian and english. All you have to do in order to translate them to english is to change one string ("lang equ...") in MACROS.INC and then recompile them by running a special script for CMD. "15" support both russian and english variants. 2) There are many new applications you did't find in my distro. What about TINYPAD or VRR? I think this is very important thing. VRR is used to set up screen resolution and vertical refresh rate; new TINYPAD can compile and run applications by one mouse-click. And why did you delete SYSFUNCS.TXT? Do you think that it's possible to write programs without any documentation?! 3) I looked at the code of your kernel but did't find anything related to autodetection of hardware! Do you mean that defining "preboot" values is equal to "autodetection"? You should know that kernel of MeOS RE supports this trick. Just open PREBOOT.INC and you'll see! This can be done even in original MenuetOS by editing KERNEL.ASM! Setting harddisk read on is located at SETUP.ASM which is started automatically by LAUNCHER. SETUP just restores user settings set at previous boot. It's not difficult to set bmp file as a wallpaper during boot process because there is BMPVIEW ready to do this work. Sorry, maybe I'm too angry but you promised to make something completly new but you did not! ----------- Sorry for my english... |

Heh, my MenuetOS world is a lot bigger now. I was able to read and write to the HD and it didn't seem to effect the stability of Menuet. (I'm not worried about killing the HD, it's 2 gig dedicated to DOS/Menuet). |

Well here are answers. 1 Did not have a clue nor the ability to read the directions in russian to perform your language trick so I did it myself. 2. VRR Crashes incessantly on all machines I've used it on and I did not think people needed that lack of functionality. If you had mentioned your improvements in TinyPad they would have most probably been included. 3. In our review of previous posts there is no mention of autodetection only AUTOBOOT. Which in fact we have released and it does seem to work for most. That was the intention. If you wish to be angry please be angry at someone else as we are just old programmers seeing what we can still do for others. Maybe your abilities far exceed others. But until the "uninformed" can see what can be done they won't endeavor to learn anymore. Our intention once again. Expose others to a new idea. For all those who wish to express an opinion on others posts. We suggest you spend that energy making this OS better and better. Just our 2 cents worth. No more time for such. Something new soon. Later |

Hi Matt,
thanks for the jpeg code. Could you tell me where you got it, or who the original author is? It would be polite (and possibly a legal requirement) to get their approval for it use in Menuet. I would also like to ask some questions about the code ( since I don't speak spanish! ). Thanks again for find the code. Mike |

Sorry Mike, I found this in a search and wish there were more as far as comments.
Maybe someone here has an idea who to contact. As far as usage. Since this is beta and I suppose GNU/GPL I'd guess you can try anything. G'day _________________ Better computing with a better OS "Menuet" |

Would you have the url or search criteria you used? I've looked for jpegview jpeg viewer jpegview.asm and cannot find anything that links the original source.
Unfortunately, just because our code is GPL'ed doesn't mean that we can make other peoples code GPL! Any info you can give to help me find the original author will be greatfully received. Ta, Mike. |
