No. FDOS is way past msdos 1.25.
1.25 might as well be a different operating system. Just about any dos program will need 3.x or better to run. 1.25 is before many common standards where set.
MSDOS open source
is it too autistic to think that if they released 98 source code we could actually make it into a good modern OS? IMAGINE:
-muh boomer GUI and muh feels
-it's not linux so it's not utter trash
-not botnet
would it even be possible to update it to work with modern stuff?
Probably. Apart from HD video streaming and vidya, there's not a whole lot that's changed since then. IIRC you can do the former and some of the latter on 98 if you use KernelEx. The only issue would be security and lack of EFI support. x86 is also pozzed so that's a showstopper for Zig Forums
It's literally nothing. I want Windows 3.11 and NT3.51 and their graphical shells open sourced.
They released the source to Windows 3.1's File Manager at least.
Baby steps, user.
Why? The whole Windows 3.1 package is so trivial when compared to contemporary "bloated" systems that any CS college student should be able to recreate a clone in short time. This includes a full recreation of Windows DDE and Windows COM of Windows 3.1.
Why the fuck would you want to learn 8086 asm in 2018? It doesn't have much in common with modern architectures. Yes, including x86-64.
1. put "R" in front of all register names
2. replace "int 0x21" with "syscall"
there, you're done
I remember hosting that shitty Tokumei instance for people on 8ch couple of years ago.
