New domain! I am excited to announce that our site now resides at: http://www.datacomponents.net/ .

January 16, 2006
 
I know I haven't been updating here much, but if this site were a CMS, it'd be much easier. I have news from the GUI Blog for those interested:

The holidays have kept me busy. Yesterday, I went back to my studies. I am trying to fit time to work on M-OS 2006, but I have some projects from my school that I need to get done first.

Wow! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was busy with preparing for Christmas. Plus, I am writing M-OS 2006 which will look like OS/2 1.2, if anyone saw any screenshots of it. I have just completed the file browser. For more info, see the GUI Blog. I will also be releasing a program on December 25 for Christmas. I might release more programs, since it is the season for giving!

I'll be gone today (Saturday) and Sunday. I just want to say that I'm working on several things between Flat GUI and M-OS Innovative SE. I'm not sure when either will be out, but I hope soon. M-OS Innovative SE is looking very different than the first edition.
 
December 5, 2005
 
I am planning on developing a Rush clone, that might be open source. I am still working on M-OS Innovative SE and Flat GUI.
 
December 4, 2005
 
I've been working on fixing close to all of the bugs in M-OS Innovative for the Second Edition. I'm taking my time on this one since I don't want to rush myself to the point that I'll mess everything up again. I've also been working on Flat GUI (more news at the GUI Blog).
 
November 28, 2005
 
I just finished remodeling the file browser (BROWSE.EXE) in M-OS Innovative SE. I've gotten quite a few errors and bugs out of M-OS Innovative SE that were in the first, so I hope to release the SE of M-OS Innovative this week. I uploaded the "open-source" copy of Dialogs GUI: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2971/dialogs.zip . Enjoy! I've also been spending time in the QuickBASIC GUI Blog, so please register or just visit to see news about GUIs. 
 
November 24, 2005
 
M-OS Innovative SE still needs some things to be fixed. I'm not sure when I'm releasing that. I finished "Dialogs", and I'll try to release it as soon as I can. I'm also working on another new GUI called "Flat GUI".
 
November 20, 2005
 
Some people have found errors in M-OS Innovative, so I hope to have a Second Edition of M-OS Innovative soon. Now, I'm working on a side project called "Dialogs". It is a GUI, for DOS, written in QuickBASIC, and it'll feature a nice scripting language to program simple GUI programs. ;-) I've set up a BETA Metronic Hosting website. And, I've set up the QuickBASIC GUI Blog!
 
November 18, 2005
 
M-OS Innovative is here: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2948/mosinno.zip. A few seconds late, but it's here! 
 
November 15, 2005
 
I know it's been a week since I updated, but I'm almost done with M-OS Innovative. The accessories are done, and the following are being worked on or need completion: Documentation, Desktop, Desktop Apps. Other than that, I'm set to go! :-)
 
November 8, 2005 - 8:45 P.M.
 
As risky as I can be, I have set up a counter for how long it'll be until M-OS Innovative's publishing. Who knows? Maybe sooner. :-)
 
November 8, 2005
 
I'm updating my website through my High School's connection, so I'm at a meeting. I would like to say that M-OS Innovative is coming along well. The datebook accessory is getting done. The rest of M-OS Innovative to be completed are the following: Credits accessory, About-Box-like accessory, WAV Player, BMP/Picture Viewer, and the desktop.
 
November 6, 2005
 
I uploaded the M-OS Platinum/3 source code: http://www.datacomponents.moved.in/plat3src.zip . It's not really a ZIP file, but a directory with the content of the code. Sorry for not updating sooner, but I've been backing up my PC.
 
November 3, 2005
 
I know some people have had problems downloading all the code from the M-OS Platinum/3 code, so when I get a chance, I'll upload all the files into a directory, so you can download each file individually. :-) I'm working on the datebook program of M-OS Innovative, so that's like a rock. ;-)
 
November 1, 2005
 
I am trying to stop myself from getting so stressed, so I am not going to be online as much, however I'll still be developing M-OS Innovative. I've got some accessories to complete first, since over the weekend, I had some ideas. I know it's taking quite a while, but just ask yourself: Do you want it done quickly with errors or do you want it done right with less errors? Food for thought.
 
October 28, 2005
 
I'll be gone this weekend, but I will see if I can find time to work on M-OS Innovative. I've just got to work on the desktop and some other things. :-)
 
October 26, 2005
 
I've been busy this week, but I'm working on some of the last accessories of M-OS Innovative. After that, I'll be working on the desktop and stability. It's looking very good so far, so I'm hoping to have it done in a week or so. :-)
 
October 23, 2005
 
Here is the Millennium OS Platinum/3 code: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2890/PLAT3SRC.zip . It is permanently archived and open sourced! A whopping 6.47 MB!!! M-OS Innovative still needs much work, but this'll keep you excited until M-OS Innovative is done. :-)
 
October 22, 2005
 
Sorry for not updating all week, but I've been wanting people to vote in the polls. Well, we have a winner: Millennium OS Platinum/3. The code will be out by tomorrow, hopefully. :-) M-OS Innovative is coming well, but the accessories are being edited to work with M-OS.
 
October 16, 2005
 
M-OS Innovative is coming along well. I've still got those accessories to complete, but in the mean time, here's a poll for you: http://www.datacomponents.moved.in/poll/ . The poll is "Which copy of M-OS should be open sourced?" You'd better get voting. Polls end October 21, this Friday!
 
October 12, 2005
 
I'm working on the Paint program in M-OS Innovative. After that, I have a file browser (like the open/save dialogs in OSes), a word processor, and a spreadsheet program to work on. Then, I'll start on the desktop. I have some neat backgrounds like a "Pepsi World" background. I think people will be satisfied when this is done. :-)
 
October 10, 2005 - 7:00 P.M.
 
I forgot to add that I set up forums: http://datacomponents.ourproject.org/forums/index.php . If you'd like a forum for yourself, let me know. ;-)
 
October 10, 2005
 
I've uploaded some links of new QuickBASIC websites. I am working on many different things, and Millennium OS Innovative is doing well. As far as development goes, I've only finished most of the accessories. I haven't even started on the desktop. The accessories are pretty neat, as you've seen in the screenshots. I've got only 5 more to go: Explorer (a file manager looking like Windows Explorer), a WAV player (for multimedia), Writer (a text editor), Spreadsheet (a spreadsheet program), Paint (a paintbrush-like program). After that, it shouldn't take too long, since the desktop just needs background settings (desktop picture or desktop color), and some program settings to work with the current window style. 
 
October 9, 2005
 
KLDP has been having some problems, but we hope it'll be working tomorrow or in a day or so.
 
October 7, 2005
 
I'll be gone this weekend for another weekend of staffing on a camp out. I'll answer all e-mails and questions on Sunday, if you e-mail or ask me. M-OS Innovative is looking okay. The file manager is a little tricky, but I might be able to do it, but maybe not drag-and-drop. :-( 
 
October 6, 2005
 
I'm working on a new file manager, with icons, and I'm working on implementing drag-and-drop. Maybe. Well, I also set up Fun550 on Metronic Hosting.
 
October 2, 2005
 
I've uploaded some screenshots of M-OS Innovative:
