[How-to] MicrowinX Project

[Desdicado]

well , judging by the reactos project (which does happend to have a terrible somewhat bloated Gui) , my hint would be to extract the cab and play around with some files and test if it gives good results (the OS seem to be around 40-47 meg installed and most of win programs seem to install on it just fine) borrow some part's here and there and u never know about application patches , besides it's opensource so tweak-it-in the XP-sp2 files would mayhaps prove something?

irc.freenode.net seem to have a channel called #reactos , the dev's respond to tech-questions given to them

ofcause you have to trigger the part that gets apps working , seems to be less bloated non-ie requirent system DLL's which is good news (but please dont use their active desktop it just stands for trouble )

Thanks for the directory listing tip,but I want to have a simple list with just the filenames and nothing else.How can I generate a simple file list as this example:

Directory of I:\TrashCan

Ca$$$h_Cow.jpg

Superbman craps his pants.PNG

H4x0rZ_with_1337_b0x0rZ.gif

Kiss_My_Arse.avi

Oh_Shieet.xls

WORmD.doc

DSL_Linux_CVS.torrent

Silicone_Vibrators.rar

opensource.mp3

9 Files total

About the calculator replacement :

First,what is the filename of that app?

Second,which one of those packages does contain that file?

Third,in the readme it says: If you use it,it can damage your Windows installation because it's not made to work as a replacement for the standard MS stuff (!?) No,thanks,I'll pass

@des

i don't quite understand, but, are you suggesting winex/cadega win32 api's to use for microwinx?

if so, then i'm not supprised if microwinx gets anymore smaller than it is.

[Desdicado]

Well gamers might complain , i was thinking of some api calls that require IE, small stuff but importain

@des

i never really thought of having wine/cadega api's to run in a windows os itself.

it's a pretty neat idea if you ask me. winex/cadega does run applications and games in linux. so why not try it running under windows then?

i hope this project continues on.

good luck gdogg!

[likwit]

this sounds interesting, hopefully gdogg can make his MicroWinX even smaller now. good luck!
