I need no complete DOS for the application, but it should contain the I/O-Routines for access of harddisk, disk-drive, keyboard and screen, and all you need to run a normal application.. Does anyone know, if there is such a DOS in the PD-, Shareware- or normal market? Or if that doesn't exist, do you think it's complicated to program that myself? And where could I find the information to do that? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I Hans Christian Edelmann (at University of Karlsruhe, Germany) I I E-Mail : s_edelmann@irav1.ira.uka.de or uk9d@dkauni2.bitnet I - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
