[Freedos-user] GUIs for dos.
If anyone is interested, I have written a toy GUI for dos(freedos, msdos,'boxdos'); I call it hobo, half a GUI; imagine a line right to left. On the left end is dos. On the right end is windows/kde/gnome. The right end has bloat, the left end does not. So, I preserved the text graphics mode dos; 'screens' instead of windows, very clean, but not 'pretty'. The core of it, akin to 'explorer' shows directories, default ten lines at a time, and can scroll them up or down. Also, the line items can be selected by mouse. This system is crude and rudimentary, but I believe, with some work, it can be extended, and without losing it's dosoid back compatability. The nice part is that it can accept an 'application' very easily; requiring mainly that the ap be 'doslike', and maybe take a command line argument(not crucial; basically any dos exe or com). I believe it could, by extension, ultimatelty approach the level of a '98', without throwing it's dos foundation under the bus. Even GEM had potential,but is a bit chaotic and opague(seems to rely on scattred dependancies and OOP gobledygook; I could br wrong.) I stick to C for these things(some assembly!), and avoid data hiding makefiles, and other such sorceries, and this requires profuse commenting. Whatever.
