Of course we are!

It seems like no one stays interested for long, except me, meowmeow, and you. sad

I just got your email meow! Lets talk!

meowmeow55 · 2010-10-25 17:09:59

Bugfix release 0.36.1 out!

Fiat500 · 2010-10-26 19:29:52

You really should Update the site to show me and WindozeNT in "The Team". Working on new, longer tour for 0.37.

ProgrammingFreak · 2010-10-27 17:24:50

hey how can i give you the stuff i did? email?

WindozeNT · 2010-10-27 19:33:56

"The Team" page really should be updated by now. Anyways, I'm making an app called Microhard Windoze NT 72.5. It's a OS installation simulator. However, I'm starting to think the word "Windoze" is starting to get overrated?

fire219 · 2010-10-27 20:03:57

I keep meaning to update "The Team", but then I forget/am too lazy to do it. lol

Is your app a built in app, like FileSnake, or a "SAM" app?

fire219 · 2010-10-28 17:05:30

Ok, I am finally updating "The Team". Also, I am making a Halloween themed version of SIMPL-DOS 0.36.1!

If you still have it, does your failed DOS project work with spaces? The word processor in SIMPL-DOS crashes when you use spaces.
No, it didn't.

I quit it after the first if statement didn't work.

But if you want to create a truly powerful computer program, try Perl. It's better than C.
K.

I know Perl is powerful, but I have also heard it is VERY HARD to learn. I have just gotten good at BASIC, so Perl is probably a long way away for me. I will probably go C route, starting with, old, reliable, C.

(BTW, did you know Windows was made in C# and C++?)

No way. I knew it was made in some programming language though. lol

I have a ton of Perl manuals at my house. big_smile

It's programmed in batch script, it can run embedded in the SIMPL-DOS OS. What's a SAM app?

Scratchthatguys · 2010-10-29 17:36:20

What if we made an extension (.SDOS) for SIMPL-DOS' scripts?

fire219 · 2010-10-29 19:54:16

@Windoze A SAM app is a external batch file, that can be used with SAM, which... Just look near the bottom of page 5 on this forum topic.

@ScratchTG That wouldn't work with the current code for SAM, but I just got a bright idea....

WindozeNT · 2010-10-29 20:54:28

Then yes, it's a SAM.

WindozeNT · 2010-10-29 21:07:00

I was trying to embed it as internal, but I had problems getting SIMPL-DOS to run it. I added the NTINST entry in the list of choices. When I typed it in, it said it wasn't a valid command.
This code was used to initiate the batch code that simulates an OS installer:

Code:

if"%choice%"=="NTINST" goto WINNTcom

I used this to identify the installer code:

Code:

:WINNTcom

And wrote the script for NTINST below the :WINNTcom identifyer.

Code:

REM This is sample code for WindozeNT's OS installer.
REM It is not the full code!!!!

Norton is being a pain and is saying the file is infected with WS.Reputation.1. That's not even a virus name.

This is how you fix it:
1. Uninstall Norton
2. Delete any traces of it
3. Get a real Virus Scanner
4. Never touch Norton again for the rest of your life
5. Complian to them that their software stinks
6. Try to run SIMPL-DOS again.
That, or your copy of Norton IS a virus in disguise.
I recommend NOD32, Spybot - Search & Destroy or AVG Free.

@ Windoze's 2nd Post: I see no problem with the code. "NTINST" sounds confusing, so maybe you are typing it wrong. I had that problem at one point.

@iham Lol! Norton apparently is stupid. It calls it a "Network Threat", so I guess it detected some of the pinging code, or something. Or, maybe Symantec hates teen/pre teen programmers. sad

@Windoze's 3rd post: I can't argue with those instructions! But, he got SIMPL from concat.jcshome.org, which is meowmeow55's website, so it isn't a fake version of SIMPL.

Everyone who uses Norton, before you open SIMPL-DOS, you might want to disable Norton. Norton seems to want to find nothing but problems with SIMPL. Bad Symantec!

ProgrammingFreak · 2010-10-30 08:27:58

I don't use Norton

Maybe the problem is the fact that there's no space between if and "%choice%"?

Code:

if "%choice%"=="NTINST" goto WINNTcom

Disk Operating System was found afterwards, originally DOS= Dirty Operating System.

You can run multiple apps at once.

fire219 · 2010-10-30 15:55:28

@cooljj Fiat is right about the text editor. If you need anymore reasons, ask meowmeow55. It was his idea in the first place! wink Also, I will consider letting you join the team.
