Well... then what you TRULY need is: 1. - "support for the most common Win16-installers" - which can be badly hacked together, because you do not need to support "EVERY" Win16-Program; or: 2. - "support un-archiving". Mostly, those "installers" were nothing but a sort of "unzip". Indeed, file-roller...

I just read a very interesting article by Andrew Tanenbaum: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/3/198874-lessons-learned-from-30-years-of-minix/fulltext I think that article can be called "how to pulverize funding", because for all I read, he got SIX AND A HALF MILLION USD and did NOT manage to produ...

Hi everybody! Recently, there was a request that I re-test a Windows SSH server. Well, that exact program seemed to be no longer available (on a permanent basis anyway), so I retested with FreeSSHd and Kpym. Neither worked, nor did the Telnet component of FreeSSHd. What happens is basically this: yo...

Ahemmm... on a related note: does anything of Qemu / Virtualbox / DOSBOX run on ReactOS "well enough"? :) Because if it does, one can also emulate stuff. Personally... I don't care about the 16-bit-stuff. One has to make somewhere a "cut". A "cut" for a more and more irrelevant platform looks pretty...

What's wrong with their current "Helium atom"? - I mean, it befits the project perfectly - it reminds of nuclear fusion, which would be incredibly useful, but whenever one asks "is it done?" one gets the answer "not yet"...

Well, you can: - neither measure "speed" of development - and while there may be resistance from the developers, the most obvious "speed" measure is the "release count", as most people assume "decent" release cycles; - nor can you directly translate "speed to money". So while in general, money WILL ...

Thank you kindly for your tips, dwnl will indeed make my life easier...

Hi everybody, Congratulations to the team for the new release. (I recommend to re-check whether everything in the "Application Manager" works, as for me on VirtualBox at least, Python 3 and both Operas definitely did NOT work, and I really had a TOUGH time getting ANYTHING from an FTP-server - in th...

IMHO, it would have been better to release the new website along with 0.4.0. From a user perspective, I went here, and I thought, "WOW. They DID IT!" - And then... 0.3.17.

I said this to accerelate our development. Now the issue is, you really have to demonstrate the translation of "money" into - and here's the rub: - "tangible" results. I, too, recommend 0.4.0 before asking for further money. (ReactOS' position is admittedly not an easy one: "hunting bugs" and fumbl...

... like Linux is to Unix ...

Nice try. Solaris and AIX and, to a lesser extent, HP-UX, however, still exist...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE FreeDOS, too, but what I am saying is, I hope ReactOS does not end up like... alright... Minix!

... which, if it were indeed so, would turn ReactOS into some sort of "new FreeDOS".

With the certain risk of being a cynical bastard and without wanting to underestimate the abilities of an unknown individual: "wanting to learn C" sounds about as useful as "I'm trying to read up on samurai swords - is it OK to go run and participate in Battle of Sekigahara?"...

The sole logical conclusion possible from the above is: "There are more issues being opened every day than there are issues being closed." In particular, what you CANNOT conclude from the above is: "More problems appear every day than there are issues being resolved." - That would be tantamount to a...

... and dragons and monsters will haunt you and darken your life for ever and ever ... Alright: I beg to differ. What contributions ReactOS accepts, I leave to ReactOS, naturally. But if information has become public through not obviously unlawful channels, it can no longer be deemed "secret". And ...
