A85: DHOS


My Suggested Features for Doomsday Horizons OS:
API:
  Floating Point math instructions-must find these in ROM
  Varable allocations fuctions(add/delete/modify/search) for the TI-OS
  Communication system calls-include calls for all supported link
devices(see below)
  Graphic calls-line drawing, graphic scrolling, compression
  Compression calls-ZCP, GCP, Huffman, TxCP(Text Compression Protocal),
anymore?
System Design:
  Support for ZShell, Usgard, maybe more
  Communication system that includes EII, I2C and its 85 extension MBus
networking protocal, IR Link, maybe more
  Modular design for easy upgrading of certain sections of the OS
  Grayscale 4 or maybe even 8, we have the room
  Definately a control panel of sorts


DHOSNIDE-Doomsday Horizons OS Native Integrated Development Enviroment:
An on-calc Text Editor/Assembler/Dissassembler/Debugger for all
supported systems.  Also includes online intelligent help. Example:

User enters:
I don't know how to clear the LCD
Response from Intellegent Help Program:
type in the following where you want to clear the LCD:
      ROM_CALL(CLEARLCD)

Pretty cool, huh?
Now only to program all of this, ha ha.  But it can be done.


Now where is this block diagram??
How exactly are we all going to program this?  Here's my idea:

Everybody summit (here) what we know how to program, and what we would
like to program.  Then somebody(Kaus??) assign certain people (1, 2 or
more) to program a certain piece of code.  This would work well with my
modular idea above.

I know some stuff about everything, alot about most.  I'd be willing to
do link related code, kernal work, VAT work, ZShell support, GUI design
and implemation but not drawing anything-I'm not good at that.  I'd do
any of this.
