Re: SIMPL-DOS thread
News time!
Meowmeow55, ProgrammingFreak, and I are starting work on a big milestone for SIMPL-DOS: making it bootable! This will probably take awhile, but if we succeed, the result will be SIMPL outside a tiny terminal window!

@Windoze Maybe. If you can show me an good example of your idea, we might do it as a SAM app.
Speaking of him showing us stuff, why don't you join the Hamachi network, Windoze?

That is almost exactly what we are doing. We are booting the FreeDOS kernel, which then starts SIMPL. I have this working, but SIMPL isn't responding to the keyboard, and some of the batch commands in SIMPL are incompatible with FreeDOS.
As for the two programs, I don't see how the calc is an upgrade, it is actually confusing. We might add the website selector as an extension of the Website Opener.

Re: SIMPL-DOS thread
Booting SIMPL status update:
We have figured out that both problems mentioned above are linked to each other. The keyboard problem is that the FreeDOS kernel doesn't understand "set /p choice", which is the first thing that SIMPL uses when started that requires user input. We have found a work around for this and (some of) the other commands that aren't working.

Good that we are using FreeDOS, because MS-DOS is still copyrighted.

Microsoft will hang on to MS-DOS until the end of time. Anyway, run Bootable SIMPL-DOS is no different than running a highly-interactive batch script in (Free-)DOS. I'm sure there's a way to get it running the way it should.
