Hi,
I want the os i am writing to be a windows 9x clone, so i was wondering where can i get information about the inner workins of windows 9x, preferably windows 98 as that is what my os will be cloning.
i just want to know information about how windows does its memory management and etc...
thnxs

Try: http://www.reactos.com/

ReactOS aims to be a clone of Windows NT; it may give you a starting point. I've heard of a similar project to clone Windows 98 (called "Freedows 98" or something) but I couldn't find a working link to it.

see this: http://www.freeos.com/projdetails/6/

If i don't mistake, freedows develorpers has lefted the project for licenses reasons.

Any link in the freeos site about freedows is broken.

Windows Emulator

It's for linux and can let you run AIM (latest version )....Word Perfect, and alot of other windows apps on Linux.

Windows Emulator

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe WINE is a recursive acronym for Wine Is *Not* an Emulator

Ehh? It dosn't matter....we could spend hours arguing about the name and stuff....I just forgot what it was really called and I don't care what it is really called...I was just trying to help this person and it doesn't matter how it's called....

Agreed.

Well i wanna create sumthing on which i am able to run my favourite games and software on, which is an alternative 2 windows.
neways does nebody have ne information abt how windows does it memory management at the moment im nt looking 4 code just docs dat explain how windows works

I have great doubts that you will manage to write a OS that is able to run Windows programs, sorry...this has been tried often

well i want to add to the list of ppl that have tried it.
neways if i dont succeed ill just used that code to build a differnt os.
