Prepared 8x16 font files (8x8 and 8x14 not yet) for every SBCS code page supported, as well for the SBCS parts of code pages 932 (Japanese Shift-JIS), 934 (Korean IBM), and 954 (Japanese EUC-JP), as well as the DBCS fonts for the same three code pages Made EGA?.CPI files with code pages 775 (Baltic Sea), 862 (Hebrew), and several Arabic code pages (864, 708, 720, etc.), and KEYBRD?.SYS files with the keyboard layout for the Baltic Sea languages /", taken straight out of Windows 95's IO.SYS Have to redo, using IBM PC DOS 7.1 kernel now, maybe not even doable with this kernel, I need to see Changed the stupid "Wrong DBLSPACE.BIN version" message in IO.SYS to a better message, "Compression driver can't be set up. Modified the version numbers in the README.TXT and NETWORKS.TXT files to 6.4 Changed the version numbers (I mean the hard-coded binary ones) of IO.SYS, COMMAND.COM, and MSDOS.SYS to 6.40 Replaced the standard COMMAND.COM with the COMMAND.COM from IBM DOS 7.1, with appropriate strings modified Modified the COUNTRY entries in MSDOS.SYS to support types 3 (lowercase table - partially supported by stock MS-DOS 6.2x and later) and 8 (next code page for current country - new to 6.40) Replaced MS-DOS 6.22's MSDOS.SYS with IBM PC DOS 7.1's IBMDOS.COM, renamed to MSDOS.SYS Replaced MS-DOS 6.22's IO.SYS with IBM PC DOS 7.1's IBMBIO.COM, renamed to IO.SYS and appropriate strings modified it now simply halts with an error message if you have a processor, worse than 386) Have to re-add, using IBM PC DOS 7.1 kernel now MS-DOS 6.40 is my custom DOS project, it's based on MS-DOS 6.22, and the goal is basically to achieve a DOS with support for many languages (including difficult-to-code ones, such as Arabic, Chinese (currently Simplified only), Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.), updated MSAV virus signatures list (from the official 1996 MS update), a better editor, corrected COUNTRY.SYS information, and other new features.īy now, the following is done of MS-DOS 6.40: OK, since the thread from the old OSBA seems to have got lost, I'll post the progress and team member lists, as well as some information, here.
