It would be great if more Denyonet are produced.

Do you know how many of them have been produced?

I own one, but I have no clue of how many of them are around. I think konamiman, Sunrise or Yobi should know.

Oh, and today I released SymShell 2.0beta, too Big smile

http://www.symbos.de/preview.htm

Here is the current changelog of SymShell 2.0beta:
- TAB auto-complete: while typing in the command line use the tab key in the way you know it from modern shells; this also works with more complex path statements and for the command parameters
- "search path" functionality for starting COM-files: if a COM file can't be found in the current directory/device, SymShell will try to start it from the SymbOS system directory; as an example you can copy AHEAD.COM into the system directory (e.g. C:\SYMBOS\ ), and can always start it even if you are on a floppy disc, which only contains the files you want to edit
- HELP command updated (full list, %P switch for pause) and enhanced with detailed information for each command by typing HELP . The "appshell.man" file has to be placed in the same directory like "appshell.exe".
- new commands: DATE, TIME; these behave like the MS-DOS versions
- new command: ATTRIB for displaying and changing file attributes
- wildcard support for COPY, REN, MOVE, TYPE, ATTRIB; all these can process multiple files now
- %H (process hidden files) and %S (process system files) flags for DIR, COPY, REN, MOVE, TYPE, ATTRIB
- proper path handling for all commands; source (and destination) can be a full absolute or relative path; pathes, which end with an directory instead of a file(mask) always have a "/" (or "\") at the end, otherwise it will be handled like a file (this should be autodetected in the future)
- COPY command supports an increased copy buffer and is able to copy multiple source files into one single destination file, if specified

Still some things to do to catch up with MSX-DOS though ;)

There is currently one known bug: The TYPE command may hang in special situations, when the shell is running in Window mode. It can be reproduced and will be fixed for the final 2.0.
Because of the platform-specific fullscreen-mode-code there are now individual versions for each platform available to decrease the size of the application. The PCW version is currently not available.

Thanks to EdoZ for testing it on the MSX!

Since last week I am working on Network support for SymbOS. This is (first) based on the DenYoNet ethernet card (Wiznet W5100), which is quite cormfortable to use. Here is a first screenshot...

...showing the test utility, which is loading the homepage of NYYRIKKIs website WWW.MSX.FI .
The driver is designed in a way, that it's very easy to exchange the used hardware by dividing the code into three layers. The low level code is for accessing the W5100 hardware directly, which is different between the MSX and other platforms like the CPC. The mid level is for working with the hardware, which is the same for all systems using the W5100. Other hardware like the ESP8266 Wlan module or own TCP/IP stack implementations/Obsonet would require another midlevel code. The high level is for managing the connections and communicating with the processes, which want to do networking.

All TCP routines seem to work now, now it's time for UDP to make DNS and DHCP possible.

This is an amazing picture!!! Network connection in a shell!, in a multitasking environment! On a Standard MSX2 .. :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF: :RNFF:
The new SymShell is working like a charm! Especially the speed is amazing!

Hi,

Now that we're talking about the Shell, another question about it. I don't know if it's possible (or asked before) but will it be possible to start .com files from within the shell? For example, recently in symbos 2.1 i did try to start a converted rom game (rom2com) from within the shell environment, but thats currently not possible if i'm right.
It would be nice to play a game in the symbos enviroment, together with the mp3 cartridge playing your favorite music on the background (of course with game music muted) Smile
