<a name="l3"></a>I, </span><span class=cF2>Terry A. Davis</span><span class=cF0>, wrote all of TempleOS over the past 20.6 years (full-time).
|
|
<a name="l4"></a>It can run on some bare metal 64-bit PC's from about 2005-2010 with no layering,
|
|
<a name="l5"></a>libraries, tools, modules or anything from other sources. Otherwise, you run it
|
|
<a name="l6"></a>in a virtual machine, like </span><span class=cF2>VMware</span><span class=cF0>, </span><span class=cF2>QEMU</span><span class=cF0> or </span><span class=cF2>VirtualBox</span><span class=cF0>. It is independent and
|
|
<a name="l7"></a>stands alone. It has no networking, so it certainly doesn't call home. 100% of
|
|
<a name="l8"></a>the src code is including on all distro's, from the kernel to the compiler to
|
|
<a name="l9"></a>the boot loaders! It is public domain, not GPL.

<a name="l15"></a>*) </span><a href="/Wb/Kernel/KernelA.HH.HTML#l2269"><span class=cF4>ATA Reg and Cmd Definitions</span></a><span class=cF0> are originally from Linux. Later, I got the
|
|
<a name="l16"></a>spec.
|
|
<a name="l17"></a>
|
|
<a name="l18"></a>*) The heap algorithm, </span><a href="/Wb/Kernel/Mem/MAllocFree.HC.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Kernel/Mem/MAllocFree.HC</span></a><span class=cF0>, is adapted from one I saw at

<a name="l19"></a>Ticketmaster when I worked on their VAX operating system.
|
|
<a name="l20"></a>
|
|
<a name="l21"></a>*) The LZW compression algorithm, </span><a href="/Wb/Kernel/Compress.HC.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Kernel/Compress.HC</span></a><span class=cF0>, came from a magazine
|
|
<a name="l22"></a>and I implemented it when I worked for Ticketmaster.
|
|
<a name="l23"></a>
|

<a name="l24"></a>*) The adaptive-step-size-Runge-Kutta algorithm, </span><a href="/Wb/Adam/AMathODE.HC.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Adam/AMathODE.HC</span></a><span class=cF0>, is adapted
|

<a name="l25"></a>from the book, <u>Numeric Recipies in C</u>.
|

<a name="l26"></a>
|

<a name="l27"></a>*) The mountain in some games is from </span><a href="http://www.public-domain-photos.com"><span class=cF4>http://www.public-domain-photos.com</span></a><span class=cF0>. The
|
|
<a name="l28"></a>wolf in BlackDiamond is also from there. I took watermarked photos and
|
|
<a name="l29"></a>converted to 16 color.
|
|
<a name="l30"></a>
|
|
<a name="l31"></a>*) The </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> file system is owned by MicroSoft.
|
|
<a name="l32"></a>
|
|
<a name="l33"></a>*) A few features were inspired by </span><span class=cF2>MATLAB</span><span class=cF0>, such as </span><span class=cF2>ans</span><span class=cF0> in expressions at the
|
|
<a name="l34"></a>command-line. There is a lot of </span><span class=cF2>MSDOS</span><span class=cF0> , </span><span class=cF2>Windows</span><span class=cF0>, </span><span class=cF2>VAXTMOS</span><span class=cF0> (VAX Ticketmaster
|
|
<a name="l35"></a>O.S.) and </span><span class=cF2>Unix</span><span class=cF0> inspiration, too, such as drive letters, command names, etc.
|
|
<a name="l36"></a>

<a name="l37"></a>*) I included </span><a href="http://www.pcidatabase.com/reports.php?type=tab-delimeted"><span class=cF4>PCIDevice Lst File</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|

<a name="l39"></a>*) Thanks to whoever wrote this </span><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100325153025/http://home.scarlet.be/zoetrope/cpphtml.htm"><span class=cF4>CppHtml.HC.Z</span></a><span class=cF0>. I'm a novice on web stuff and you
|
|
<a name="l40"></a>helped me with html. See </span><a href="/Wb/Demo/ToHtmlToTXTDemo/ToHtml.HC.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Demo/ToHtmlToTXTDemo/ToHtml.HC</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l41"></a>
|
|
<a name="l42"></a>*) I looked at bootable CD boot sects, but didn't learn anything, finding it
|
|
<a name="l43"></a>easier to make my own.
|
|
<a name="l44"></a>
|
|
<a name="l45"></a>*) I think I got my original PC speaker code from </span><span class=cF2>Borland C</span><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l46"></a>
|
|
<a name="l47"></a>*) I found PS/2 keyboard and mouse code on the net and documentation. My code
|
|
<a name="l48"></a>is very different. I found VGA reg info on the net.
|
|
<a name="l49"></a>
|
|
<a name="l50"></a>*) Thanks to </span><a href="http://www.osdev.org"><span class=cF4>http://www.osdev.org</span></a><span class=cF0> for a couple tips.
|
|
<a name="l51"></a>
|
|
<a name="l52"></a>*) God told me to stick with 640x480 16 color and single-voice 8-bit signed
|
|
<a name="l53"></a>MIDI-like sample for sound. He kept me from zombie-walking into making child
|
|
<a name="l54"></a>windows like </span><span class=cF2>Windows</span><span class=cF0>. Instead, I made one window per task with no child
|
|
<a name="l55"></a>windows. He also guided my progress, very obviously.
|
|
<a name="l56"></a>
|
|
<a name="l57"></a>*) I got </span><a href="http://www.templeos.org/files/DICTIONARY.DD"><span class=cF4>Webster's Dictionary</span></a><span class=cF0> and </span><a href="/Wb/Misc/Bible.TXT.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>The King James Bible</span></a><span class=cF0> from </span><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110730111436/http://promo.net/pg/"><span class=cF4>Project Gutenberg</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l58"></a>
|
|
<a name="l59"></a>*) John Carmack inspired me to use "</span><a href="/Wb/Kernel/KMathB.HC.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>Clamp</span></a><span class=cF0>" as a name instead of "Limit". He
|
|
<a name="l60"></a>inspired me to use "needle" and "haystack" as names. He inspired me to simplify
|
|
<a name="l61"></a>my Frames-Per-Second code.
|
|
<a name="l62"></a>
|
|
<a name="l63"></a>*) Bill Gates inspired me to add comments to my </span><a href="/Wb/Doc/HelpIndex.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>Help & Index</span></a><span class=cF0>.
|
|
<a name="l64"></a>
