RealDos is Shareware

[Stephen J. Carden]

I take it "Snapshot" is designed to dynamically swap memory regions in and out? I know nothing of the RealDOS memory map but I assume there's a lot more than just the com processor in the Shadow RAM. Command line utilities (including the bundled external commands) shouldn't be a problem at all since presumably once you're back in the com processor, all the code's back under the OS where it should be. Surely it's just the FMS and XIO calls which need clever handling from applications which want to live in the shadow RAM.

 

Re: help: personally I'm taking ten days to write a dozen lines of code at the moment for my own projects, and haven't even started something else I promised to do. I'll be glad to get back to work in order to get a bit of peace.

 

Snapshot write a file out to your disk drive. You can save up to 10 snaps. What I am thinking about right now is writting to disk memlow to the os. Turn off the os copy all that to disk. Grab all the vbi's and write them to disk. in Shot terms remove most of dos from memory. Now I will not clear the memory from the os so that a program that needs it will find it, when the program exits back to dos it will reload nessary memory and keep going. All the error code that are stored up under the OS will goaway. A dos error will just show an error number like "error 138" then if you do not know what that error is there will be an error.com. its function will be "error 138" it will look it up in the database and give you the info. Being an database it can be edited for the language you are use to. Right Now there will be two database one for English the other for German. The user can also add info to the database so now hardware with new error messages can have updates for them.

 

 

I hope to put the finishing touchs to Ed Bochmans Wedge to function with RealDos and SpartaDos 3.2? or 3.3? When I get it finished I will post it here along with the source in an atr.

I'll try to organize so I can devote some sort of help to this project, as I do want to see it succeed and from what I've played with it, I'm starting to feel that it's perhaps one of the most important Atari projects going on today.

 

Sighh, too many hobbies, too little time!

[Stephen J. Carden]

Afaik,

 

Turbo-Basic 400/800 and Frost Basic (which are actually the same) both do not use the RAM under the OS, but they both come as one file named "DOS.SYS". And this is a DOS 2.x DOS.SYS plus the Turbo-Basic appended to it (length approx. 180 sectors). So chances to use this version of Turbo-Basic with Real-DOS are zero...

 

BUT: Tom Hunt once created a pure/patched file version of this Turbo-Basic (without DOS 2.x DOS.SYS) and named it Turbo-Basic 3.2q. This is the file you should be searching for, because this file works with SpartaDOS and as long as it is not absolutely limited to SpartaDOS 3.2d, I guess it will also work with Real-DOS. However, if the TB32q program checks for SpartaDOS version 3.2d you can try to fool it, running a program first that sets a fake version number (and so let the TB program think it is running under Sparta 3.2d), e.g. FAKER.COM or SETVER.COM. But this will not always work...

 

Just try it out (I never did, since I don`t use any SpartaDOS versions)... -Andreas Koch.

 

 

I have Tom Hunts phone number I will give him a call and see what he can tell me about TB and SpartaDos. Thanks for the tip!

[Stephen J. Carden]

I'd like to put in a good word for this person and his product. I love this DOS. I actually paid the shareware fee, which I rarely do

 

Well worth it.

 

Dan Please contact me. I would love for another programmer to jump in and help. If you want to make an xcopy.com Please do so. I will send you the programming equates.

I can tell you one thing! any help would be great. I don't think the Atari user understand I am doing this for them. RealDos does everything I want it to right now. This project is for you the classic Atari User. Michael who put out his program not long ago kind of lite a fire under me to finish or at least take it to the next step. Right now all my time is taken in writting code, then send it to Michael to tranlate it into German. So this is the first Dos that I am aware of that it for anyone in two languages. If someone know how to program in assembler and wants to translate it into another language then I am open to do that as well. Michael is doing the German work. Dan Winslow has said he will write an xcopy for the project. I need someone who will help with the English version of the documentation. If I end up writting the English Documentation that will take away from code that needs to be written. Michael wanted to use the Atari Age forum to keep the project ontrack. So once again there is hardware you can get out of this project by just helping see the earler message.

I could probably translate it into Geordie so it would make more sense to Tyneside users (sorry; that will be meaningless to many people in more senses than one!).

As for the copyright issues mentioned, I wouldn't worry about it. If Fte didn't sell on the rights then there's no problem as far as I'm concerned - got ripped off on a pre-order by Mike Hohman back around '94/'95. First and last time I've placed a pre-order on anything overseas. After the cock-up by GAME in the UK over my pre-ordered MW2 Xbox I can't see myself ever preordering anything in the UK again either.

RealDos Update:

 

We are up past 90 Support files. I now have a copy of turbobasic so I am going to write a x.com that will free up os ram so you can run turbobasic. when finished and exit turbo basic x.com will reinstate os ram for realdos usage. IF you know of any other hardware out there please let me know about it and if I can get one. I want to make RealDos compatable with as much hardware as I can. So please e-mail me if you can think of an os or hardware I do not have listed.

 

Send pm to <sjcarden[*a-t*]bellsouth.com>

 

I just want to see what hardware we have to test

with. Please update this list so I know if I need

to purchase any hardware!

this program is the first program you load in you batch file. Snapshot must reside in

the same location in memory. this is one reason I am thinking of adding it as a dos vector.

I am not finished with this program. If I keep it as an external file I will need to add

dis_bat.com This turns off the batch handler and the print function to

redirect Screen io to a file.

 

cr.com This is a utility that I wrote to work with the emulator it converts ascii to Atascii

or Atascii to ascii. It works with the H drive. It is only one file at a time however.

 

crccheck.com You can run this aginst any file that has had it's CRC set to see if the file has been modifyed.

Usage: Dn:>path>crccheck Dn:>path>filename.com it will return a pass or Fail. If you run

Set_reg.com no two files will have the same CRC.

 

version.com This is a file that can be run aginst any of our support files to tell info about the file

that was set by the header.s. this file Has several mods. usage version dn:>path>filename.ext

show the most info. second mode "version dn:>path>filename.ext /p" send info to the printer

third mode. "version dn:>path>filename.ext /H dn:>path>filename.txt" will append to a text

file basic info about the file you are checking. Cool thing about this is it give the internal

filename so if a file has been renamed you can tell what it is.

;=========================================================================================

 

The Current dead line we have for this is Augusta Of this Year. That is code finished, Tested, and Documented. Translated into other languages.

 

We have a lot of work to do and a number of you have helped us and the Atari Users base in this project. I just wante to say thanks for your help. I am still open to design changes and programming idea's.

 

I have had a request for Turbo-Basic compatable.. Working on this right Now. I have a copy of turbo basic but I need a small program and information on how to load and run a program and then exit..

 

I have request for long file names.. I am not going to change the directory format. I will give it some thought on how to maybe make a database that can serve this function.

 

Wedge compatable.. Done!

 

Read and change directorys froma my-dos disk.. I need a copy of mydos in atr format.. if there is source that would help. I will then try to write a mini-dos app that will copy mydos disk files and subdir to RealDos Format.

 

At this point in the project I am not willing to change disk formats. Realdos is compatable will SpartaDos x32n and x33n. In a future version I will look at going beyond the 16meg limmit to support larger Hard disk Partitions. Currently the Emulators and most of the disks you have are in the format we are using..

 

Please email or post any Ideas you have. I may also need your help if you have a piece of hardware I do not have and can no longer get.

 

Thanks,

Steve & The RealDos Programming Team.

Thank You very much for the info! Now to order one. I also had a nice offer from an Atari user that was going to send me one of his prototypes. I will not give out his name because it was sent to me in a private message. That is the first time in a long time some one was willing to just sent me hardware that was hand built. With the support we "the RealDos multi-language Team" have gotten lately it makes all these hours I am spending on this worth while!

 

Right Now RealDos has 90+ Support files and I know I am going to do more. RealDos was tested on a 800xl256k with a multi OS board and a sio2sd internal installed. Booted fine and ran well in that configuration. I am also running RealDos on my multiplexer system as well. The development of RealDos is being done on Toshiba Satellite laptop, xasm cross assembler and Atariwin800.

 

Please tell me what you want in RealDos. I already have all the tools I need right now. So if you want something then let us know what it is.

The ATR that has RealDos on it is a standard Atr. The atr file was created on the 8-bit through the ape interface. You do not need the pro system to use it. If you booted from say MYDos and tried to read my atr you will get junk. SpartaDos and RealDos are the only Atari Dos systems that can read that format! Mount the RealDos atr as disk 1 and boot fom it. You can always boot the emulator and boot the Atr. Also the RealDos atr is the same size as a 1.44 floppy disk. So if you have a floppy board you can sector copy the Atr to a real atari Disk.

Well I had a very kind 8-bit user send me a zip with what I needed on it. RealDos does work with the S:Drive. I just took the atr I have been working with that has the latest and greatest version and put it on a 2 gig sd card and it booted right up. To my suprise I ran a percom test and who ever did the pic program for the s:drive set to the percom values just like the percom book said to. One head 65535 sectors drive present flag is set and so is the denisity. That means all the formatter I have written will work. I will spend some more time with the device and see what I can make it do.

So if you have a floppy board you can sector copy the Atr to a real atari Disk.

There is a glitch (?) with this image. It differs somehow by 40 sectors. If you like to copy it with a sector copier it will not work. Instead of creating a destination image of 5000 sectors with ape, atari810 or aspeqt create 40 sectors less and you can use hdfmtdir to format it and use dupdsk to sectorcopy the image.

Are there anymore updates to this DOS since the Abbuc software competition. I was wondering it REALDOS has or will have a set PATH command. And also if the X.COM for swaping out the OS portion to allow Turbobasic to run.
