@shanselman Will version 8.0 ever be open sourced?

HoustonDog, 22 days ago

@shanselman

I always associated IBM with DOS 4.0

Compaq with DOS 3.3
Microsoft with DOS 2.11

(and later, MS-DOS 6.2x)

shanselman, 22 days ago

@HoustonDog yes we did this with IBM and their OSPO was very helpful

@travis @shanselman yes do XP - the last stable windows available.

@shanselman Under an OSI license, or one of MS's not actually open source licenses?

Imagine the possibilities.

An operating system usable by virtually every still-functioning computer in existance today, and a horde of programmers who can work in such a simplified environment that can write virtually any program for any task needed.

Who can write me a DOS 4 web server?

kimschulz, 22 days ago

@starraven @shanselman Sioux should work, though you might need the network layer (maybe the one from freeDos could work) http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/

@dec_hl I think
@starraven is looking for you...

@blackcoffeerider @starraven @shanselman well, I never figured out what is wrong with my quick'n'dirty HTTPS-DOS webserver. But the HTTP-Server I wrote for DOjS is working OK 😂

Update: I figured it out and got it working! IPv6 support did try to enable multicast and the packet driver did not like that!
I'll put together a binary release now.

@dec_hl @blackcoffeerider @starraven @shanselman and a hanselminutes about httpDOS coming when? 😁

dec_hl, 20 days ago

@gaprogman @blackcoffeerider @starraven @shanselman I‘d rather request one about https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOjS 😊
