PortixOS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PortixOS is a free operating system, that operates in 16-bit unreal mode and is designed for x86-compatible CPUs. PortixOS is written in Borland Pascal and in FASM (flat assembler) compiler. The development of PortixOS is led by Jozef Bogin jr., a 14 year old programmer.
PortixOS has only a command line at the moment, but it will have a GUI support too.
PortixOS can fit on a single, 1,44 MB floppy disk and PortixOS can even install onto CD-ROM. PortixOS has his own file system, especially designed for floppies - RSFS (Really Strong File System).
The OS has some built-in commands, like SETUP,TIME,DATE,HELP, etc., and RUN and FILEMAN are currently in development.

[edit] History
PortixOS started from TextLiner OS, a tiny OS written in 100% ASM with very basic functions. The first version released to public was 0.4 alpha. The latest version is 0.4 beta pre-release II.
PortixOS is not backward compatible with TextLiner OS.
[edit] Programming
There is no support for user applications, yet.

PortixOS runs standard EXE applications designed to run in PortixOS environment.
