Then why are filesystems such as FAT so poor? Well think about FAT's history. Originally a 12 bit filesystem, it was used for 180 and 360kB floppy disks. After that it's been "upgraded" to support long filenames, big hard disks and a 32 bit allocation table. It was perfectly good for what it was originally designed for. Luckily nowadays we have other filesystems (NTFS in the Windows world and more than you can shake a stick at in the Penguin world) -- CBM, Amiga and PEZ-nut, Scout, Glider pilot, Administrator Email: vjouppi@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope Arabuusimiehet World Domination ###### From: =?ISO-8859-15?q?=22Beno=EEt= Rouits" Subject: Re: AsciiOS ;) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 21:28:47 +0100 Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art Message-ID: References: User-Agent: Pan/0.10.0 (Unix) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Comment-To: "'Raf256' Rafal Maj" Lines: 20 Organization: Guest of ProXad - France NNTP-Posting-Date: 15 Jan 2002 21:25:01 MET NNTP-Posting-Host: 213.228.20.48 X-Trace: 1011126301 news1-2.free.fr 205 213.228.20.48 X-Complaints-To: abuse@proxad.net Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!newscore.univie.ac.at!news-hub.siol.net!fr.clara.net!heighliner.fr.clara.net!proxad.net!feeder2-1.proxad.net!news1-2.free.fr!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.ascii-art:27024 I know that the following adress is not in pure ASCII but take a look at this : it is a X11 window-manager inside a VT100 terminal ! http://linuz.sns.it/~max/twin/ Dans l'article , "'Raf256' Rafal Maj" a écrit : > Hi, can somebody draw some GUI elements (windows-like) in ascii-art ? > why I need them - look at topic ;) > If someone want to be a beta-tester, send email to raf256@go2.pl > > Font used will be... good-old DOS VGA 16x8 font (80x25 text mode :) We > will use ASCII 32..127, and mabe some other special characters >127, we > will deside later -- http://brouits.free.fr/ ICQ #145294907 ###### From: drsquare Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art Subject: Re: AsciiOS ;) Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 15:54:34 +0000 (UTC) Organization: BT Openworld Lines: 23 Message-ID: References: <11v04ug4usmvnh38eo6f7013tr8f8vjph2@4ax.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: host213-122-202-4.btinternet.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Trace: paris.btinternet.com 1011455674 11165 213.122.202.4 (19 Jan 2002 15:54:34 GMT) X-Complaints-To: news-complaints@lists.btinternet.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 15:54:34 +0000 (UTC) X-No-Archive: yes X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!newsfeeds.belnet.be!news.belnet.be!news.tele.dk!small.news.tele.dk!128.230.129.106!news.maxwell.syr.edu!btnet-peer1!btnet-feed5!btnet!news.btopenworld.com!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.ascii-art:27112 On 12 Jan 2002 20:05:57 GMT, in alt.ascii-art, ("'Raf256' Rafal Maj" ) wrote: >drsquare wrote in >news:11v04ug4usmvnh38eo6f7013tr8f8vjph2@4ax.com: > >> If you use an existing OS to put it on top of, you can run its own >> programs.
