LoseThos 6.00
HOME BREW OPERATING SYSTEM
Lite version includes:
* 64-bit x86 Kernel with Multicore support.
* 64-bit Compiler/Assembler (Yes, wrote it myself. Compiler, not interpreter.)
* Source files and the command line window can have graphics, links, icons, trees, colors,
margins -- everything is seamless and uncluttered. No resource, object or executable files.
* 64-bit pointers. All tasks on all cores run with physical address map with full access to all
locations at all times. On my 12 Gig machine, all tasks can access all 12 Gig of RAM!
Most other operating systems have a 4 Gig limit per task.
* Highest CPU privileged mode at all times. No off-limits instructions. No mode changing
penalties. What? You need a nanny?
* Switches tasks in half a microsecond.
* CD/DVD reading and writing, ISO9660 file system
* 640x480 16 Color VGA Graphics
* Boot loaders for CD-ROM or hard disk
* Keyboards & Mice
* Hard Drive, Support for FAT32 and LoseThos native file systems, File compression
* Graphics Library
* Tools/Utilities including profiler
* Demos and Documentation
* Games
* Bible and hymns
* All source code included... Seriously! Including my 64-bit compiler! It only compiles
natively, with my compiler. You can`t use gcc. Instead, boot LoseThos and compile
everything.
LoseThos never executes code not written by me except a couple BIOS config calls. It`s
100,000 lines of public domain code with no GPL restrictions, written by me over the last 6
years, full-time. It was written completely from scratch with no code as a starting point.
The registered version also includes:
* LTZ utility for uncompressing LoseThos files from Windows or Linux. (Not needed for
normal operation -- You normally boot LoseThos and it compresses or uncompresses
files automatically, on the fly.)
* Dictionary
