#pdos — Public Fediverse posts

Running an offline #BBS client on a low-end Android phone via a #PDOS virtual machine on Termux really gives you an authentic feel of how slow BBSes were back in the day, before the internet, especially when the screen updates.

So, I officially put up the initial sources for my "PDOS-goodies" project, which aims to be a collection of utilities aimed at addressing features gaps in #PDOS, the Public Domain Operating System. Here it is: https://github.com/antoniusmisfit/pdos-goodies

The SAVE command in #PDOS is the #DOS equivalent of *nix here-documents, but with two drawbacks:

1. It cannot "save" to stdout. A file MUST be specified.

2. While it can overwrite a file, there's no option to append to a file(yet).

Despite these drawbacks, SAVE enables batch files to create files. And outside of a batch file(or in a batch file with the /I switch), SAVE acts like the "COPY CON" command found in other DOS-based operating systems.
