I'm happy to announce dosfetch, a neofetch clone for DOS!

@LucasWerkmeister Because people tried to get the twelfth neofetch clone into Void, so I decided to write a useful one! @leah Does it do various logos for: DOSBox, DOSBox-X, Dr-DOS, FreeDOS, PC-DOS, ROM-DOS, Netware etc. Would be great. :) Didn't realize one needed this for DOS but here we go :) @leah I just opened that code and realized my pascal game is weak :D When I assemble my 32bit PC I shall try working on it. Need to test my TP installation (that sounds so funny when I read it) @leah I never did. In high school, we were the first batch to start with C. So our seniors never spoke to us about it. π @vkaku I didn't wanna bother with a DOS C toolchain and the TP inline assembly is nice! @leah Z:\? @leah This is so damn great! Immediately makes me want to program Pascal again (last time was at least 30 years ago) π Recognizing versions of DR-DOS/OpenDOS/WhateverItWasCalledDOS would be fun (it had several names when owner was changing). Or putting hands on PTS DOS 2000. @leah I always wondered if more packages, or fewer, are considered l33ter, in /r/unixporn screenshots @leah Well, itβs when I see stuff completely unexpected like that, that I am thinking "Geeks I like you so much <3" :-) @wildweasel @leah i canβt help but call you out on x86_32 π€£ x86_16 surely! @thejpster I guess so, I'm honestly more surprised nobody's called me out for getting lazy about the RAM. π @leah mem free would be helpful I mean, IIRC it was always a flex to show how much free base memory you had @leah This brings back a lot of memories of writing Pascal on DOS! Does it build with FreePascal? They dropped support for DOS but binaries are still there. @leah what about adding DOS to neofetch and compiling it as an Ξ±cΟ¡αlly pΞ΄rΟΞ±blΞ΅ Ξ΅xΞ΅cΒ΅ΟΞ±blΞ΅ (https://justine.lol/ape.html) @leah Kind of makes me want to write a batch file ... then again, think I'll stick to Linux CL ... "it's the only way to fly". @leah I know I've seen other software, possibly MSD, make the same 36Mb extended memory complaint, but the mainboard is decidedly "not quite how IBM did it." :blobcatblep2: @leah Adding on, perhaps part of this is that it's using an AT-centric way of reading the machine's specs, asking for CMOS setup data at port 0x70. 8088-class machines don't usually have anything there. The BIOS data area https://stanislavs.org/helppc/bios_data_area.html might provide some alternate query paths, and maybe INT 0x13 function 8 to identify disc drive types and geometries. |
