JNos is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for DOS. I thought I would try and write a GUI for DOS, as other GUIs didn't offer the features I wanted, also, it would probably be the closest I would get to writing an actual operating system for the mean time. These are the features it currently has: Here are some pictures of it running on my Toshiba Libretto 110CT:

CMDCONS shelling out to a JNos Compliant Application (sorry about the yellowness of the picture)

JNos is written in QuickBasic and runs under DOS (MS-DOS, PC-DOS, etc), it runs quite fast despite the fact that QuickBasic is a slow language, although the the BMP loader is very slow (going to be sorted). JNos V1.0-2007 is heavily under construction and development is painfully slow (it was meant to be released last year, so V1.0-2007 will be changed to V1.0-2008).

Thanks to Lee Vidal at www.leev.co.nr for creating the Splash Screen

Next Version

Hopefully in the next version (if ever), I will hope to include this features: UPDATE: V1.0-2007 Scrapped. Version2 being planned/designed now. I'm really do not have any spare time at the moment, especially with GCSEs approaching, so I probably won't be starting this until late July. However, here is the Version2 splash screen:
