Of course. An small point, DOS doesn't have a kernel really :). It may be called a boot-loader to be precise :D. behdad > Cheers > Medi ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: viewing farsi font in console
I remeber being able to do this on Unix/Linux long time ago...as far back as 1990sback then on SCO, AT&T SVR4 x86 (386 PCs) and then Linux... See manpages on setfont(8) unicode_start(1) unicode_stop(1) loadunimap(8) And google for "hebrew console"...that community was on top of this issue and I was using their tools and findings to solve this problemmy final conclusion was Grahpical Interfaces will win at the end... You can also use the X environment and run an app that looks like a curses based app ... I'd be interested in learning about the application of this technology And finally Operating Systems are pretty much alike. If you can do something in Dos, Windows, you can do it in Linux as wellsome would let a userspace app take over the kernel and do what ever you want (like DOS) and some only demand that you write a device dirver to take over the kernel...
