Kind of like Mac-OS, before they started using unix.

imho a cli would be real great. maybe the kernel should emulate text mode so u can start in command mode (i say emulate because 800x600+ res with a desent font like on mac os/x when u start in command mode [apple+s] looks a heap better), and it'll run 'cmdstart' or something instead of launcher. i might do somethikng like that in my branch (compilax.virtualdogshit.com).

If you want to develop a next generation OS, what would be nice is to have a one-to-one relationship between a scripting language and the GUI. That way a script could be written by using the GUI with your mouse and keyboard, and scripts can be played back causing programs to launch, windows to open, close, etc.

Man, thats showing your age. :o) It's an interesting idea but I wonder how it would cope with windows being resized, or buttons being moved in a s/w upgrade causing scripts to fail. Mike |

Good idea! Endre. P.S.: I could imagine fortran77 to be the high-level language of MenuetOS. Am I alone? |

Yes, I am showing my age. My favorite languages include Fortran, Pascal (and now Oberon2) as well as assembly lanuage.
One thing that attracted me to MenuetOS is the fact that it is very effiencient when using the CPU and memory. This makes it ideal for running compute-intensive calculations for science and engineering. It would be great to have a Fortran compiler for MenuetOS. John |

Well we already have an editor that only supports up to 80 characters, so that fits well with Fortran :o) |

Yes it would fit also for assembly (as) well, if it did not eat up the last character of the file, but it does
 . However it is a good protection against virus authors who want to create their code with this editor. The code will never compile since the 't' is always missing at the end of the last ret instruction. MenuetOS is to protect and to serve! 
so a virus on any OS except MenuetOS looks like this Code:
call destroy_everything
ret
Code:
call destroy_everything

There's a new TINYPAD in my distribution! It can even compile&run files by one mouse-click!
