OK. My thoughts of what I want to do: *creak* *scream* *ussr anthem* I want to create two versions of an OS, DOS dependant and a disk image.

That's it so far. - Nate ---------- > From: Hawke <mdeland at NWINFO.NET> > To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU > Subject: Re: Proposal for Micro$oft Haters > Date: September 23, 1998 3:04 PM > > Nate Brooman wrote: > >I think I'll start out with EuOS simple first. > >A file manager and text editor and icons for > >them, and then build from there. > > ummmm... look up ^^^^ > now, look down vvvv > >An alternative Windows-type "shell" for DOS > >might be a good idea. > > isn't this what your proposing in paragraph 1 in > the first place??? :> > > >First I'll make it in Eu and see how it goes. > >I do have Borland C++ ya know... > kewl! me too! all those reference books it comes with > made great kindling for my fireplace last year > (when i found EU, thereabouts) > and the 20sumfin floppies it came with i took > apart, snagged the magnetic media out of them, > ground it into finefinefine particles, mixed > it with some paint, sprayed the paint on my car > cuz it needed a paint job, and now my car absorbs > electrical energy and is in effect, stealthy to > radar traps!
