Last updated: 2021/06/10 Please check the website at https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io for any edits/updates to this file and files within the LOOKHERE directory and sub directories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grab the latest copy of PsychDOS source code from the PsychOS Project at https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io. Compiling PsychDOS from source ------------------------------ In order to compile PsychDOS from source, you will need a copy of VBDOS (Visual Basic for DOS) version 1.0. Open the program and then use "File --> Open Project..." to navigate to the "PSYCHDOS.MAK" file. You should then be able to make any edits you want to and then compile using the "Run --> Make EXE File..." menu item. PsychDOS was compiled as an EXE using the "Stand-Alone EXE file" and "80x87 or Emulator Math" options. Place PSYCHDOS.EXE in the C:\PSYCHDOS directory. Compiling PRGMNGR.BAS from source --------------------------------- Compile using QB45 or QBX; do not use FreeBASIC as it will not only produce a much larger PRGMNGR.EXE file, but it does not play nice with included PsychDOS software that use their own DPMI stuff. If you want to edit PRGMNGR.BAS with a regular text editor before compiling, make sure to save it in QB45 before compiling or it will produce an EXE that is only a couple of KB in size that does absolutely nothing. Place PRGMNGR.EXE in the C:\PSYCHDOS directory. Compiling DOSSHELL.BAS from source ---------------------------------- Compile using QB45 or QBX; see instructions for PRGMNGR.BAS. Place DOSSHELL.EXE in C:\PSYCHDOS\PROGRAMS\SYSTEM directory. Anyway... I would also like to note for the time being, I am no expert at all with VBDOS, so if you are trying to make changes and are having issues, feel free to E-Mail, but I may not be able to help you. However, if you do know what you are doing, also feel free to E-Mail me your improvements.
