DOS Software

Herein lays the remains of miscellaneous DOS software that was salvaged from an older website circa 1995 Anno Dominus. Thus, the following is all quite ancient in these days and, truthfully, may or may not work.

ANTIALIASING/SCALING/ROTATION prototyper 3.4.

There are several versions here of the prototyper in Borland C, Watcom C/ASM and Pascal. Full source code as well as executables naturally included. Ever wanted to scale a BMP or PCX graphic around the screen, or perhaps even rotate it at the same time? Have the urge to do bilinear or trilinear antialiasing (COLOR as well as fixed grayscale) on the same graphics? Here's your chance. Download the complete archive and play with it for hours.

This is a bit of a collectors item. My very first demo. It's showing signs of aging, but all it really needs functionally is some code to compute frames-per-second on your machine and limit the speed at which the moon and stars whizz about the castle, etc. Orginally I wrote this when 486sx/25s and 33s were basically the best you could hope for.

Hmm. A nice digitized "BOOM!" for the ESC key would help too.

This is all the files, including the source, the graphics and the executables. It's the same as has been at x2ftp.oulu.fi for a long time now. (It's filename is demobsrc.zip.) Please don't laugh at the source code (which is all Borland C 3.0 with inline 80186 assembly). I'd only started programming for the IBMs just three or so months previous as I recall.

Yes, it's a QBASIC progam that simulates newtonian gravity on any x86 PC with a VGA card. Yes, I said VGA. It was written in '93. At the time I wrote it I thought it was very cool... then I ported it years later to my TI-85 calculator and I thought that was even more cool.

Written in TASM 4.0 (that's the old Borland DOS assembler) I wrote this pre-Windows 95. The assembly code kicks an 386 or better processor that's running in real-mode into a flat 4GB addressable protected-mode. It was a test for a boot-loader that was to be used in an operating system we were thinking of building (ie, Foundation.).
