Tue, Nov 21st 2006 06:17

About:
MikeOS is an operating system for x86 PCs, written entirely in assembler.
It's not intended to to become a fully-fledged general purpose OS.
Instead, it's designed for learning basic OS design and x86 assembly
language. Consequently, it runs in 16-bit mode (for BIOS access) and has
very low system requirements. It features rudimentary DOS compatibility.

Changes:
A new command-line interface and new string handling system calls were
added. The build scripts were improved. The kernel source code was
separated into multiple files. The os_dialog_box now has multiple choices.
Many small cleanups and fixes were made.
