J Operating System is primarily intended for programmers.
Target Users:
- Hobbiests--You used to buy computers to do programming. They didnt do much else. Windows doesnt even come with a compiler, which is ironic since Bill Gates wrote BASIC. The "J" operating system is primarily intended for programmers. Ive attempted to lower the bar, so amateurs can contribute. I hope to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software.
- Researchers--Im sure many lab researchers still use DOS because they have to interact with hardware, which is difficult with Windows.
Main features:
- No security! You can access all ports, memory and disk blocks to your hearts content. When youre working with your own computer, security just gets in the way and makes things slow--I hate anti-virus and anti-spyware because they just slow things down. When you know you dont have a risk, have no secrets and do regular back-ups, who needs security?
- Uniformity
- There is no virtual memory and everyone is on the same address-map. You can easily communicate between tasks, passing addresses. Addresses start at a base of zero and, essentually, segment registers are not used.
- There is basically one language to learn called "C+" which is a little more than "C", but less than "C++". You dont need to learn a scripting langauge because everything uses this syntax.
- There is an extension of ASCII called "J" rich text which allows colors, links, graphics and various widgets in your documents. This format is used in source code, documents, help, menus, etc.
- Support for compressed, encrypted and contiguous files.
- FAT32, FAT12 and ISO9660 filesystems.
- Blazing-fast compiler which can recompile everything in 5 seconds. It doesnt optimize.
- All source code is included and its still around a Meg.
Hardware:
- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
- VGA graphics
- Some hard drives. Must be on the primary or secondary IDE controller and support LBA28. Drives of 120Gig are the limit.
- Some CD-ROM/DVD drives, including burning.
- Some floppies. Just 1.44Meg and not all types.
- No USB support yet
- No network support yet
- ASCII printers on the parallel port are supported.

DVD BacKup Express is a small Kommander Script to create a GUI for dvdbackup.

I made it because it can be run on any platform with kommander installed and dvdbackup available (which may be more platforms than kdvdbackup or other binary frontends are available for)

There is a lot of room for improvement here. Feel free to spruce it up a bit and send me the new .kmdr file and i will update this.

Mount ISO Image is an advanced script which allows to perform multiple operations with ISO, NRG (Nero Burning ROM), UDF (DVD), CUE/BIN, CCD/IMG/SUB (CloneCD), XDVDFS (XBOX) images.
Mount/unmount operations can be performed in two different ways: using kdesu or sudo. During the installation youll be offered to choose a variant to use.
Note: If you prefer to use sudo, you should first choose to "Setup sudo config" in installation menu.
Usage:
ISO9660 (CD) and UDF (DVD) images
Mount:
Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised.
Unmount:
Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Unmount Image". The corresponding folder will be removed from the desktop automagically.
Calculate MD5 sum:
Right-click an ".ISO" file, choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Calculate MD5 sum" and wait for completion - it may take several minutes for a standard 650 Mb image on a slow machine.
Create ISO/UDF image from directory:
Right-click a folder that you wish an ISO or UDF image to be created from and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO (or UDF) image". Image will be created either in parent directory of this folder (if user is allowed to write there) or on the Desktop.
Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO!
Create ISO/UDF image from CD/DVD drive:
Right-click any suitable directory (resulting file will be stored there), select "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO-image from CD-ROM" and select the name of ISO image in the filename selection dialog. If it suggests you put the resulting image on the Desktop instead of the selected directory, it means that current user has no permission to write in this directory.
Note: This feature requires a working CD/DVD drive
Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO!
NRG (Nero Burning ROM) images
Mount:
Right-click an ".NRG" file and choose "Actions -> Manage NRG -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised.
Unmount:

DVD-Baker project is a small suite of programmes designed that can turn your image collection into a DVD.
Your image collection can be stored in a web gallery such as Menalto Gallery G2.
Formerly known as gallery2-to-dvd, DVD-Baker has evolved from a brute-force (hack) bash script to a php/bash combination that allows you to bake your DVD on a computer other than your webserver.
Main features:
- Menu system based on the root and branch albums/folders
- Slideshows made from the images in each leaf album using dvd-slideshow
- An albums highlight is embedded in its corresponding menu
- Subtitles for each image (switchable)
- Customisable image durations and transition effects
- Autoplay after menu timeout plays each slideshow sequentially
- Random autoplay (optional) if using dvdauthor 0.6.12
- Options menu (optional) for toggling subtitles, autoplay and repeat modes
- Either NTSC or PAL video formats
- DVD-compliant MPEG movies can be included
- High or low quality modes
How DVD-Baker works
Its as simple as RECIPE => BAKE => BURN !!!
1. Prepare the recipe:
For Menalto Gallery G2:
g2-dvd-recipe.php needs to be placed in the base directory of your G2 site.
2. Baking the ingredients:
Running dvd-baker will produce all the slideshows and menus as specified by the recipe.
A file called dvdauthor.xml will be produced describing all those menus and slideshows, and how they work together.
3. Burning the DVD:
If you didnt specify the -d option for dvd-baker, then:
$ dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml
To burn the dvd, use your preferred burning application to create a DVD-Video from the resultant ./DVD directory.
Enhancements:
- A few important features have been added.
- The most requested may be the ability to specify the gallery album to bake (rather than the users root album), and the ability to specify an album to use to create a DVD leader (a title played before the root menu is shown).
- Also included is an optional Options Menu System, which can be accessed by pressing the SUBTITLE button (or F3 in gxine) to toggle options such as SUBTITLES, AUTOPLAY, and REPEAT during playback.
- Minor cleanups and bugfixes are included.

KungFu DVD Ripper is a GStreamer based DVD ripper.

KungFu creates backups of your DVDs, saving them as .oggs on your hard drive. It encodes the backup using patent-free codecs, Theora for video and Vorbis for audio.

KungFu is not designed for producing backups that fit within a certain file size (say, for burning onto CD); instead, it is designed to produce backups of consistent quality while maintaining the lowest average file size possible (for building a video library on your hard drive).
