    A new shell for FreeDOS

  • Regarding the code: its modern C code. It does not look outdated, my main target is Linux/OSX/Windows, but I keep it in such way that good old TurboC can compile it (on modern OSes I use cmake for the build system). I even made a script that creates a "D:" drive for me to develop, so I start dosbox and then I can run "tc" and compile the project (see the readme file on the github project, and also https://github.com/elcuco/fdbox/blob/main/etc/create_dosbox_dir.sh). As part of the CI/GithubActions I build on every commit the code and tests for Linux/Mac/Windows/DOS. Tests are run on all 3 modern platforms, and I will eventually run this on a dosemu session or something. I invested a lot in tooling.

  • Minibox

    Small Linux commands for resource limited systems

  • I found this cool project: https://github.com/ercanersoy/Minibox and ... I found myself writing this cool project. I always wanted to do this... so why not? I also took a lot of inspiration from Andreas Kling, from SerenityOS. "If you split every problem to smaller problems, and continue working, eventually you will finish" (or something similar...).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
