| I am currently working on an operating system(BASIC-ASM) because I didn't find a lot of OS with good GUI so I figured it would be good I started doing one myself. I would need some ideas please. |

idea #1 :
if possible, screw basic. what i mean is, dont use it.
it will just make less people dl the shell
unless you mean running asm-basic, then it would be good  |

| Maybe you should call it DrOS since there are several OS's called DOS for the calc already. |

First, I will wait for DOS to come out for the interface, but in the meantime, he're what I have done:
-Loading: Win. XP progress bar style
- Loads up to 8 programs(maybe more later)
- Loads the desktop and mouse
- Shutdown, Settings(i am working on the settings - auto-screensaver, passw protection, etc.)
- Command Prompt (Archive, Unarchive, Lock, Unlock, Delete programs)
much more coming soon
ps: i will do it in BASIC with ASM programs(shutdown, etc) but I could be converting it to ASM. I started programming with the ti this year  so i am still not an expert in ASM. Anyways, thanx for your comments  |

Here are some updates for RAOS:
- I will use a program(BASIC) that will send commands to another program(ASM) for now because it is easier for me to program it. Maybe later, it will be all in asm. I am now working on the asm file.
- Memory, battery and contrast check, enable/disable lowercase, etc. |

NEW: invert screen (white on black, black on white)
I am having some problems with the asm file but trying to make it work
The BASIC program is still not finished(40%) because i need to finish the asm program.
The whole project might be a little bit slow because I have some exams coming... Anyways, i'll try to finish it as soon as possible.  |
