BeeOS - short description from Alex Freud.

    BeeOS - brief description. Part 1

  After studying and analyzing all operating systems,
which exist for Zx-Spectrum,i
came to the conclusion that all good projects
"bent" at the stage of conception, and not very much
and practically were not born at all! Let's take
for example, OS MythOS is a great start, but
the authors did not finish the job. This
many interesting ideas have been put into the system,
It's a pity that it didn't come to fruition. IS-Dos -
old system, good support
drivers, but lack of multitasking and
GUIs don't do it well
attractive...
  The idea of creating BeeOS is such that people
(primarily users Beta Disk 
interface) wants normal multitasking
OS with normal GUI and driver system
for all existing cars, which is currently
moment does not exist (Doors are not an example).
My personal opinion is that if
develop an OS, then you don’t need to write it
specifically under Beta Disk,a attach
drivers for other disk interfaces
(for example, for our Western friends), and
also include support for formats
.z80 and .sna. There is also a problem with
launching TR-Dos programs for the OS! Her I
I think I can solve it by writing a virtual machine
(in plans, if the OS develops, you can
will write virtual for others
disk interfaces), but this requires
significantly larger resources and memory than
available in the main computer park in
Russia (Speccy 128, 3.SMhz ), and the car
you will probably need something like Speccy
256/512, 7.OMhz, but this is still in
future.
  Currently the system has implemented
multitasking (almost the same as in
MythOS), almost entirely written GUI
(but not yet matured even to the alpha version
:)), memory drivers have been written for the main
cars (Scorpion, Kay, Profi, Pentagon),
several drivers for printers, in progress
driver development for Smuc with support
appropriate resolution, driver
hard drive under Scorpion (about methods
I don’t remember connections on other machines,
help, send your solutions!). Also
We are in full swing developing our own file
systems (BeeFS),which is planned
will support drives up to 2GB as Fat16
(although I had an idea as the main
FS use exactly that!). Already written
several applications for this OS
(text editor with graphical
fonts, utility for working with hobeta and Trd
files, a simple text viewer and
graphic information (including files
format BeeWord )(Ivan Roshchin, no desire
write Best View under BeeOS? Alpha version
just around the corner!), editor adapted Art
Studio (which works in multitasking
mode!) as well as a simple commander
Explorer). But for now the system is working
leaves much to be desired... So for now I
that I don’t even release a demo version!
 In the next part I will describe the structure
system and kernel, how it will work
(will it happen at all? :)).

  And here I come, SEEENS,with my comments
Tariyami. ;(
  Alex Freud stated his point well
opinions about some OSes, even about
the same MythOS,which was lost somewhere
there - in the past...:(
  But won't BeeOS suffer the same fate?
Alex he himself has not yet answered this question.
I was wondering and didn’t (I hope) ask myself this
question, as he said, it’s too early
anything to say, everything will be said
upon completion of the full version, and so
if the alpha version is just around the corner, then that's it,
what you need to see in it, we hope
we'll see...
 But about the next part, let's do it
wait! It will be very interesting to know
Alex's thoughts about this OS, and I hope
next time we will see the article here
BeeOS part 2... Please think about
given thought and write responsesor yours
thoughts on this topic, I think that
Alex Freud will be interested to know what
what users think about this...
