1. REXX/OS?
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
"REXX/OS operating system project reaches first milestone (Posted by Christian Langanke) (js ) The netlabs.org develpers community proudly announces a new project called REXX/OS, intended as the brand new
incarnation of the IBM operating system OS/2, being completely realized using the widely known and proven REXX scripting language. As Adrian Gschwend, founder of netlabs.org states, the project has already reached its first milestone. The kernel, currently hosted in a virtual OS/2 session, successfully boots and basic device drivers are available. A first public preview is available for download from the netlabs.org website. Considering the potential of this revolutionary design for the OS/2 community, netlabs.org is prepared to handle the expected several dozen downloads of this preview. Several screenshots
have also been posted. See the REXX/OS homepage at: http://rexxos.netlabs.org.

URL: http://rexxos.netlabs.org "

Since it was posted at http://en.os2.org
on 04-01, I hope it is not an 'April Fools Joke'.


OS/2 Warp-ed to the very end.

One gets that feeling when one hears about it and it is posted on 04-01. It if is an 'April Fools Joke', it is an elaborate one. I have downloaded the alpha of REXX/OS and will give it a try. There are even screenshots of it running. Apparently it runs in an OS/2 window.

I found that kernel.exe consisted of many small binary chunks..
The number of chunk is ... 401!
Good job, Netlabs.

I posted news of REXX/OS at different OS/2 discussion groups. Most think it must be an 'April Fools Joke'. If it is, it is an elaborate one. I checked the site again and there is still nothing about it being an 'April Fools Joke'.

PS Part of me hopes it is not an 'April Fools Joke'.
