its mainly for programs to take input from files.  It can be used to do SMC, which I will probably end up doing, so I can keep my mods from update to update.  KermM posted a few more routines on cemetech for file manipulation.

ok, app installing on linux works! still having issues with windows though. To install an app, just type in zip_install_app_dialogue() into the command app and run it.

Mhmm interesting. I assume the apps have to be written in jBasic and it inserts them in the code, right?

no they are written in jBOS code, but if you want jBASIC you can just have your jBASIC app in the app folder and iframe to it :)

aaaah ok I see. I thought both languages were kinda similar (in terms of coding third-party apps)

well there were some simularities, but jBOS is much different in many ways. jBOS is aimed at windows and stuff, jBasic is aimed at games. jBOS was inspired by jBasic, but it has taken a huge step away.

you can still use jBasic with jBOS, one of the main differences (iirc) is jBasic uses html, jBOS uses javascript only.  idk, I had to create an app.html to use jBasic

actually they both use HTML, just for developing for jBasic you have to do some HTML work, but with jBOS all of it is with javascript (although you can use HTML for in the javascrit. ie: defining the content of a window.).

I managed to write a browser app, it allows you to enter the URL to go to, and makes the app fullscreen (Note to self: Add a full screen button to each window).  As soon as I see Eeems again to help me make the dot something file that allows auto installing of the app to jBOS, I'll upload.  (Plus a couple of changes and fixes ;))

Yay!  :D  I'll try to get a windows version up and running (I use linux most often for jBOS)  Expect it in... an hour at most :)

Edit: *Fanfare plays*  Tada!  I got it done :D

For the record, I pretty much just took my jBOS directory that I use in linux, cut a few parts off, and packaged it up.  In windows, I updated a bunch of stuff (I used to have 5.0 I think).  If you want/need the update stuff for either linux or windows, you will need to get it from another package, sorry.

New features:
-A maximize button!  When clicked, it will make the screen as large as it can be (you will probably want to be full screen when doing that).  To shrink it down, you should probably use the minimize button to shrink, and then unshrink with the same button.
-A web browser!  You can type in a URL, and it will make an <iframe> which you can surf the web using (which I'm posting this from).  The linux version has a slightly better version of the browser that supports (primitive) history.  Windows file management stuff is... fairly difficult imo.
-A reboot button!  In the top right corner, there is a small power button, if you click that, it will do the equivilent of refreshing the page, or rebooting :D
-A calculator!  No, not a TI-calculator, that'll come later ;)  This is just a small four function calculator that /ussually/ works.  I'll get around to fixing it one day >.>
-A kill all sequence!  Press Ctrl-Alt-` to kill every single window that is open.
-A button to open the main menu!  Press ` to open/close the main menu.


The app "APP" is something that will let you get the keycodes for whatever button you press.  The downside is that it creates more and more and more windows the longer you hold a button, so a reboot is probably best after using it.  I just realized in the windows version that the clock doesn't quite work right... So I will look at that, and try to get it fixed.  The app "Type" is something I was working on, not really anything, so don't waste too much time on it.  The app "Login" is just for looks for now, it doesn't actually log you in or anything (just loading boot.html lets you do that).   And remember, most of this is in the Alpha state, so it will probably get fixed at some point or another :)

Enjoy :D
