<a name="l2"></a>
|
|
<a name="l3"></a></span><span class=cF2>Terry A. Davis</span><span class=cF0> wrote all of TempleOS over the past 15.4 years (full-time). ZealOS is a fork of ZenithOS, which itself is a fork
|
|
<a name="l4"></a>of TempleOS. It can run on some bare metal 64-bit PC's from about 2007-2019 with no layering, libraries, tools, modules or
|
|
<a name="l5"></a>anything from other sources. Otherwise, you run it in a virtual machine, like </span><span class=cF2>VMware</span><span class=cF0>, </span><span class=cF2>QEMU</span><span class=cF0> or </span><span class=cF2>VirtualBox</span><span class=cF0>. It is
|
|
<a name="l6"></a>independent and stands alone. 100% of the src code is including on all distro's, from the kernel to the compiler to the boot
|
|
<a name="l7"></a>loaders! It is public domain, not GPL.
|
|
<a name="l8"></a>
|
|
<a name="l9"></a>*) </span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/KernelA.html#l2902"><span class=cF4>ATA Reg and Cmd Definitions</span></a><span class=cF0> are originally from Linux. Later, Terry got the spec.
|
|
<a name="l10"></a>
|
|
<a name="l11"></a>*) The heap algorithm, </span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/Memory/MAllocFree.html#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Kernel/Memory/MAllocFree.CC</span></a><span class=cF0>, is adapted from one Terry saw at Ticketmaster when he worked on their VAX
|
|
<a name="l12"></a>operating system.
|
|
<a name="l13"></a>
|
|
<a name="l14"></a>*) The adaptive-step-size-Runge-Kutta algorithm, </span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/System/ZMathODE.html#l1"><span class=cF4>::/System/ZMathODE.CC</span></a><span class=cF0>, is adapted from the book, <u>Numeric Recipies in C</u>.
|
|
<a name="l15"></a>
|
|
<a name="l16"></a>*) The mountain in some games is from </span><a href="http://www.public-domain-photos.com"><span class=cF4>http://www.public-domain-photos.com</span></a><span class=cF0>. The wolf in BlackDiamond is also from there. Terr
|
|
<a name="l17"></a>y took watermarked photos and converted to 16 color.
|
|
<a name="l18"></a>
|
|
<a name="l19"></a>*) The </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> file system is owned by MicroSoft.
|
|
<a name="l20"></a>
|
|
<a name="l21"></a>*) A few features were inspired by </span><span class=cF2>MATLAB</span><span class=cF0>, such as </span><span class=cF2>ans</span><span class=cF0> in expressions at the command-line. There is a lot of </span><span class=cF2>MSDOS</span><span class=cF0> , </span><span class=cF2>Windows</span><span class=cF0>, </span><span class=cF2>V
|
|
<a name="l22"></a>AXTMOS</span><span class=cF0> (VAX Ticketmaster O.S.) and </span><span class=cF2>Unix</span><span class=cF0> inspiration, too, such as drive letters, command names, etc.
|
|
<a name="l23"></a>
|
|
<a name="l24"></a>*) Terry included </span><a href="http://www.pcidatabase.com/reports.php?type=tab-delimeted"><span class=cF4>PCIDevice List File</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l25"></a>
|
|
<a name="l26"></a>*) Thanks to whoever wrote this </span><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100325153025/http://home.scarlet.be/zoetrope/cpphtml.htm"><span class=cF4>CppHtml.CC</span></a><span class=cF0>. I'm a novice on web stuff and you helped me with html. See </span><span class=cF4>

|
|
<a name="l28"></a>
|
|
<a name="l29"></a>*) Terry looked at bootable CD boot sects, but didn't learn anything, finding it easier to make his own.
|
|
<a name="l30"></a>
|
|
<a name="l31"></a>*) Terry thought he got his original PC speaker code from </span><span class=cF2>Borland C</span><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l32"></a>
|
|
<a name="l33"></a>*) Terry found PS/2 keyboard and mouse code on the net and documentation. His code is very different. He found VGA reg info on
|
|
<a name="l34"></a>the net.
|
|
<a name="l35"></a>
|
|
<a name="l36"></a>*) Thanks to </span><a href="http://www.osdev.org"><span class=cF4>http://www.osdev.org</span></a><span class=cF0> for a couple tips.
|
|
<a name="l37"></a>
|
|
<a name="l38"></a>*) I got </span><a href="http://www.templeos.org/files/DICTIONARY.DD"><span class=cF4>Webster's Dictionary</span></a><span class=cF0> and </span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/Misc/Bible.html#l1"><span class=cF4>The King James Bible</span></a><span class=cF0> from </span><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110730111436/http://promo.net/pg/"><span class=cF4>Project Gutenberg</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l39"></a>
|
|
<a name="l40"></a>*) John Carmack inspired Terry to use "</span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/KMathB.html#l1"><span class=cF4>Clamp</span></a><span class=cF0>" as a name instead of "Limit". He inspired Terry to use "needle" and "haystack" as
|
|
<a name="l41"></a>names. He inspired Terry to simplify his Frames-Per-Second code.
|
|
<a name="l42"></a>
|
|
<a name="l43"></a>*) Bill Gates inspired Terry to add comments to the </span><a href="http://www.tomawezome.github.io/ZealOS/Doc/HelpIndex.html#l1"><span class=cF4>Help & Index</span></a><span class=cF0>.
