You angrily shout at your stupid terminal. The GTA comes over to your computer, glances at your screen, and notices you are struggling with some basic commands. They sigh, and hand you a manual, then depart without a word. You're off to a great start in your operating systems lab, congratulations.

http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm#02

From now on I'll just try and interpret bad commands and come up with something close to what people want, unless it's impossible. For example:


C:\>TYPE=INFO.TXT;
File =INFO.TXT; not found.

C:\>TYPE=INFO.TXT
File =INFO.TXT not found.

C:\>TYPE INFO.TXT


Suddenly a torrent of text dumps down your screen, the green letters flashing before your eyes. You catch bits and phrases in both English and German. It's the documentation to FMT.EXE, and explains to you how to use FMT command to format 5.25 and 3.5 in floppies in high and low density formats.

You can now format floppies. Just state that you'd like to make a floppy and what size, and you'll automatically do it.

Ignore floppies and C:\>TYPE GAMES_

Hahaha, wrong operating system.

I was hoping to try and install graphics drivers, then I saw your first reply and tried anyway.

>cd win31

C:\>TYPE GAMES;
File GAMES; not found.

>cd games

I never said it didn't have graphics drivers. In fact, it does. They're sitting in C:\DRIVERS\S3, nobody bothered checking. In fact, it's quite possible there's a shell installed (hint).

Missed my ninja edit, I tried getting to win31.

>cd rogue

Shell, type just opens a file as text.

In fact it does. I'm going to let him get away with it anyway though, since he got in first. Even though I absolutely adore Rogue. Don't worry, there will definitely be Rogue. And maybe getting sucked into the computer like in Tron, except without the whole getting sucked into the computer part because people don't really do that.

1, and now the thread turns into a Oregon Trail let's play.

Wedge, this is a real computer/vm you're using, isn't it?

>cd OREGON_

Congrats on your first valid command, although you don't need to put _ at the end of everything.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so sarcastic.
