Hi folks.

I started using OS/2 2.0 when it was still in beta, but I
stopped using it in 1999 I think.

Since then I have developed my own OS, PDOS/386
(http://pdos.org), which runs a subset of win32
console mode applications.

An obscure sequence of events led to me purchasing
ArcaOS to see what a commercially supported rival
to Windows looked like, when I saw that it now ran
(some) win32 programs, via the pre-installed Odin.

I can't find any evidence that Odin is still being developed,
although it hasn't been that long (6 years) since the last
release.

My win32 programs (e.g. hexdump), that are dependent
on msvcrt.dll, did indeed work (when prefixed by "pec").

Note that I provide my own msvcrt.dll (that I wrote
myself - part of PDPCLIB) - ArcaOS doesn't ship with one.

However, programs of mine that use ANSI escape codes
do not work properly - the ESC appears to be ignored/
swallowed.

In addition, the doco says that the driver is no longer
working, so I need to run everything via pec. Which
probably means I need to provide my own shell.
Which I can probably do, as I have 3 flavors of my
shell already (for 3 different flavors of PDOS).

But that won't really work without ANSI escapes.
Well - I believe it will work to some extent.

Another thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get
LFN working on my FAT partition. There is supposedly
a "longname" extended attribute to allow this.

Any thoughts on how to create a win32 console
environment?

Thanks. Paul.
