Obsession takes many forms. Some of us sift through decades of ancient software for a blog, while others spend decades reinventing the same software repeatedly. Outliner software seems to attract the latter, but can this genre win over the former?

The core of the Amiga Operating systems consists of the three major components Exec (scheduling, memory management, IPC), Intuition (GUI library) and AmigaDOS (process and file management). AmigaDOS is based on the Tripos operating system which Commodore bought because development of their own DOS subsystem failed to meet deadlines. In this article, I am presenting searchable PDFs of the very rare Tripos manuals (638 pages) as well as the AmigaDOS manual (304 pages). Comparing the two documents will share some insight in the relationship between Tripos and Amiga OS.

This tutorial is intended for BBS sysops who wish to run DOS door games on their Raspberry Pi (or other ARM device)

I'm a Hugo Award-winning science-fiction writer, and I've been using WordStar since 1983, writing all 23 of my novels with it. If you still have questions about getting WordStar to run under Windows after reading the notes below (updated in 2015), please e

There are many open source BBS resources out there for Linux, but I came up short in finding anything even remotely mentioning renegade and Linux in the same sentence. This left me feeling nostalgically challenged so I set out to find a way to run a telnet multi-node Renegade BBS from my Ubuntu system. In this instructable, I will show you how I achieved this and hopefully inspire some much needed creative improvements as well.

So you have a MS-DOS installed to a virtual machine on your super new multicore computer and it consumes 100% of your CPU (well… 100% of one core actually…)?

These are the image files to recreate floppies with Dos 6.22 This is the last DOS version and was also the base for Windows 95

While DOSBox is a great piece of kit, sometimes you may have more speciailised DOS needs that require the use of a VM. In my case, I use QEMU and so far things are working great.

"If you’re like me—a nostalgic 90s gamer—then you’ve probably looked at the ever-expanding catalog at Good Old Games with some envy. There they all are again, the classics! Betrayal at Krondor! Master of Orion! But you’ve grown up and moved on to a Mac. Well, envy no more; I’ve figured out a fairly straightforward path to get you some nostalgic gaming action… DOS gaming action, at least."

"The DOSKEY utility allows you to create simple but powerful macros. Learn more about this powerful utility." Wow. I haven't used DOSKEY since... well, since I last used DOS on a regular basis.

"The following will fork bomb your shell" Ouch.

Not sure, but might this run some old DOS apps and games?
