DOS ain't dead

Here's some of the projects I've worked on in the past few years, starting in 2008. Some are still receiving development. https://bitbucket.org/ecm/

RxDOS 7.2x: The initial commit, 7.20N, is a bug-for-bug port of the RxDOS kernel to NASM. 7.22+ is still early in its development. I recommend not to use this yet; there's a lot of work to do. GNU GPL v2+

lDebug: A debugger based on FreeDOS (Japheth's) Debug. It has nicer assembly formatting, allows some run-time options, and parses numeric expressions. Fair license

RxANSI: An ANSI driver (ANSI display codes only) with optimal installation handling, and advanced removal handling. Public domain

Some more programs there:

bdiff.jh: Jason Hood's bdiff, creates user-readable binary diff files. Public domain

cntlines: Counts lines in NASM source, recognises some different types of lines. Fair license

X2B: exe2bin replacement. Public domain

See also https://github.com/stsp/dosemu2/pull/450 (RxDOS status) and https://github.com/stsp/dosemu2/issues/445 (RxDOS boot support in dosemu2)

I can build binaries for all of these, if anyone needs them but doesn't want to wade into building it themselves.

Great to see RxDOS is being developed (again)

I wonder if there is changelog between RxDOS 6.2 and your 7.20N?

I haven't worked with 6.20 at all. 7.1.5 to 7.20N is only a port with some additional comments. Unfortunately I didn't start using an SCM right away.

I was not aware on RX-DOS 7.15, thought latest was 6.20 (http://freedos.gds.tuwien.ac.at/files/distributions/rxdos/). So please, can you build binaries? I want to take a look to it.

I am very pleased seeing RX-DOS is still in development. Always liked its ASM approach.

rxdos-exes.zip and rxdos-src.zip from this link actually are 7.1.5 (7.1.6). I uploaded rxdos-7.2x-034e96e285da.zip to https://ufile.io/u8oc2

I need a host that preserves the file for longer. Or, you can ask Robert to host the files on the server.

Why not just create a new download entry in https://bitbucket.org/ecm/rxdos-7.2x/downloads/ ?
