A new version of ProDOS to play with, along with a few new utilities. The OS and the utilities are stable.

Very nice! I like how clean it seems to be compared to older versions. Thank you!

Is it any relation to DOS 3.2.1? :) I only saw a couple of odd disks with it on

Hi Doc.,

Your ProDOS 3.0.1 and ProDOS 3.2.1 (and not 3.1.2) are based on John Brooks' ProDOS 2.4 & 2.4.1 with a modified bye program, I truly believe that your versioning brings noise to the latest releases of ProDOS 8 and your 3.2.1 does not even include the true ProDOS 2.4.2 which solves an important bug in 2.4.1.

So, here is ProDOS 3.2.5, the Super Enterprize Edition, cracked by Ze SlackerZ. It is based on ProDOS 2.4.2, it includes Bitsy Bye (I do not like that bye program but it is still here), and your utilities are also on the disk..

It is available at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/projects/prodos325/ProDOS%203..2. 5.dsk

What's a "FIST CRACK"?

It also ships with GS/OS SYSTEM 6.0.4, which is like System 6.0.4 but all the filesystems are case-sensitive. When saying it out loud you're supposed to bounce on your toes while saying "SYSTEM" to make it clear which version you mean.

(Maybe we can identify variants by appending initials to the base version instead? Or at least version the OS kernel separately from the disk contents. Maybe we can give them code names like Linux distributions... ProDOS Leaping Lizard.)

Please do make sure that these versions are labelled very clearly. I
have absolutely no interest in having an operating system where the file
names are case sensitive. The only reason I can see it having been
implemented in the first place was lazy coders not wanting to convert
file names to all one case before doing comparisons for equality. Why
on earth would I want to have a file called "System" be different than a
file called "SYSTEM" or one of a whole lot of other variations. In
English, the word "System" means the same regardless of what
capitalization of letters you use.

Sorry, I didn't catch it. It was late and I was tired and I had checked
my messages just before going to bed.

However, my opinion on case sensitive file names remains the same. :)

No worries, Jeff.

Ahem... my DOS 3.4 (a real thing at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/projects/dos34/) is case sensitive to typing but case insensitive (all uppercase) in I/O

You can: bload LoGo
it will load LOGO
It does not store LoGo in the catalog

As a Linux user, i'm used to case-preserving, case-sensitive; but i like
case-preserving, case-insensitive (i.e. mixed case is stored, but
matching case is not required).

This times a million.

I might be a bit wierd, but I don't think better BYE programs that are mainly useful for choosing which of Qkumba's ports I want to play today justify incremental operating system version numbers. I like the BYE program that ProSEL installs at startup myself ...
