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
Doomgeneric has a very thin platform-specific layer: https://github.com/ozkl/doomgeneric?tab=readme-ov-file#porti...
Nobody cares about Lotus 1-2-3 support any longer :)
also, can't be a dos with the 'dir' command.
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
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
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.
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?`.
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.
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.
