Beeftweeter posted:lol, funny that we were just talking about archive support on windows. i just read a thing saying they're integrating libarchive with windows 11, meaning most formats should be natively supported windows zip integration has been super half assed for years so this sounds like something i'll immediately disable the second after i run sshhh or whatever to turn off all the tattlers and ad integrations

I would suspect theyre aware of that issue and maybe have some .par type stuff going on? it's also possible that the five seconds of thought i put into that is more than they did tho.

the one reason it just barely could be real is if there's some old giant government contract that has "deliver floppies" in there, but no one actually expects anyone to use them.

On the one hand, it's the only photo of this, and where would M$ found a supply of high quality floppies and a facility to manufacture the disks On the other, well, it's a Microsoft Windows installation package in Chinese on 3711 floppies, CIB

It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The ownage sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the player's aim from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the pubby is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the HPB. However, the player must also know where it was. The HPB player's aim computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the player has obtained, it is not sure just where it is, however it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be, from where it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called "gg" Volmarias fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Aug 21, 2023 |

it was probably more down to software doing things the "wrong" way, but which worked on MS-DOS and not others, rather than specific faults with other OSes

We had programs (games, probably?) that would crash on dr dos for sure, and we used to gently caress around with esoteric dos utilities but gently caress man, it was over 30 years ago and my brain just isn't what it used to be I do remember the most stable versions of dos were the odd numbered ones, though. Dos 4.0 was really bad. Maybe we had dr dos 4.0 or something. echinopsis posted:x tree gold the best file management program for dos/windows I've ever used, to this day. You could grab a whole subdirectory tree and move it with one command, you could search within a dir and all its subs, the display options were so good!

Also the only version of drdos I used was pretty late in the game when it was already opendos and most people were using windows95. I had a machine in my room that didn’t have the ram for 95 or linux and drdos + win 3.1 was what I used. I remembered feeling like I wish I’d had drdos when I was a bigger dos user but its entirely possible that early versions of drdos weren’t anything to get excited about. I also dual booted various versions of minix but recall they were all useless until I could get x11 on minixvmd and for my effort I was rewarded with a dog slow X11 experience but I took what I could get.

wasn't dr dos actually some weird version of cp/m? maybe that's why it had compatibility issues

the cp/m heritage in the different flavours of DOS is complicated. none of the various DOSes are actually based on cp/m in any meaningful way, but there's a lot of low-level data structures (particularly for file handling) that were carried over to make porting cp/m software easier. most of that stuff stopped being used after MS-DOS 2.x because it has too many limitations. compatibility issues are normally down to lovely software. like if a program wants to say read the status of a drive then 95% of them will call the function that returns the drive status. but the other 5% will just directly read the memory location where MS-DOS stores that info. if an alternative DOS doesn't store the info in the same place then the program fails and the user blames the OS.
