Here is an animated screenshot of my operating system Punix so far. This screenshot shows off its virtual terminal driver, which emulates the VT100:

The rest of the kernel is fairly complete already, but I still need to get the filesystem and a few other bits working. Then I can start getting compiler toolchain support for writing Punix userland utilities and applications. Between work, school, and taking care of my wife and newborn son, this will probably take me at least several more months. image

You can get the latest version of the Punix source code from its Subversion repository by issuing a "svn co https://punix.svn.sourcef...e.net/svnroot/punix" command. To test it out you'll need to compile it with TIGCC (you also need flashos.a, by the way), and run punix-9x.tib in TiEmu or a similar emulator. Note that compiling Punix works best in Unix/Linux because it uses a Makefile instead of a TIGCC project file to direct its compilation.

Go ahead and try out the new virtual terminal!

Edit: by the way, you can read about the development of Punix at http://punix-os.blogspot.com/, and the Soureforge project page is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/punix/.
