Operating Systems. Total Downloads 1,, Downloads Last Week 0. Report Software. This was facilitated by the fact that Be Inc. Here is a list of these projects:.
Zeta was a commercially available operating system based on the BeOS R5. Originally developed by yellowTAB, the operating system was then distributed by magnussoft. During development by yellowTAB, the company received criticism from the BeOS community for refusing to discuss its legal position with regard to the BeOS codebase perhaps for contractual reasons. Access Co. The Tascam SX-1 digital audio recorder runs a heavily modified version of BeOS that will only launch the recording interface software.
Magicbox, a manufacturer of signage and broadcast display machines, uses BeOS to power their Aavelin product line. The API is divided into a number of 'kits', which collect related classes together and bear some relation to the library which contains the supporting code. It is case-sensitive and capable of being used on floppy, hard disks and read-only media such as CD-ROMs.
However, its use on small removable media is not advised, as the file-system headers consume from KB to 2 MB, rendering floppy disks virtually useless. Like its predecessor, OFS Old Be File System, written by Benoit Schillings - formerly BFS , it includes support for extended file attributes metadata , with indexing and querying characteristics to provide functionality similar to that of a relational database. Whilst intended as a bit-capable file system, the size of some on-disk structures mean that the practical size limit is approximately 2 exabytes.
Similarly the extent-based file allocation reduces the maximum practical file size to approximately gigabytes at best and as little as a few blocks in a pathological worst case, depending on the degree of fragmentation.
Its design process, application programming interface, and internal workings are, for the most part, documented in the book Practical File System Design with the Be File System. Be's corporate offices were located in Menlo Park, California, with regional sales offices in France and Japan.
The company later relocated to Mountain View, California for the duration of its dissolution. It inspired the open source operating system, Haiku. It is filesystem agnostic, and boots an operating system as if it were being booted directly from the hardware. As such, it can boot virtually any operating system. Gobe Software, Inc was a software company that published an integrated desktop software suite for BeOS.
In later years, it was the publisher of BeOS itself. Gobe was founded in by members of the ClarisWorks development team and some of the authors of the original Styleware application for the Apple II. The resulting product, Gobe Productive, was by far the most polished of the word processors, spreadsheet and vector graphics applications for BeOS, but as an integrated package a la ClarisWorks and Microsoft Works.
When Be Inc. Only weeks after signing up other publishers around the globe, Be, Inc. In addition, the publishers in general and Gobe in particular did not have source code access to the BeOS and were not able to continue its development or add drivers that the platform needed to be a viable alternative to Windows or Linux. Although the company shipped a Windows version of its software in December , it was unable to obtain sufficient operating capital after the stock market crash and suspended operations In Gobe management began to work with distribution and development teams in Greater Asia and had plans to ship a new version of the product for the India market early Later in August , Gobe Productive's website was disabled and then sold to an Indian movie producer called ErosNow.
Haiku is a free and open-source operating system compatible with the now discontinued BeOS. Its development began in , and the operating system became self-hosting in The first alpha release was made in September , and the last was November ; the first beta was released in September Haiku is supported by Haiku, Inc. As of the June monthly activity report, Haiku developers had ported LibreOffice. Haiku applications are usually available as HPKGs; however, unpackaged applications can be installed by using Haiku PackageInstaller for legacy BeOS apps or manually unzipping the install files into one of the non-packaged installation folders.
Haiku comes with a set of mostly small yet essential applications. Core applications are an essential part of Haiku, as they serve many different purposes. Haiku also has some 3rd party applications to supplement the core applications. The applications are usually executed by double clicking on the icon. In effect, two thirds of the hard drive was hidden from the end-user, and a series of complicated manipulations was necessary to activate the BeOS partition.
The station was named Batavia Zuid or South Batavia until the beginning of the 20th century. This station also serves three of the six KRL Jabotabek train lines, which operate in the Jakarta metropolitan area. He is best known as a former executive at Apple Computer, where he worked from to He also founded Be Inc. Lincity is a free and open-source software construction and management simulation game, which puts the player in control of managing a city's socio-economy, similar in concept to SimCity.
The player can develop a city by buying appropriate buildings, services and infrastructure. On March 28, , magnussoft announced that it has discontinued funding the development of ZETA by March 16, because the sales figures had fallen far short of the company's expectations, so that the project was no longer economically viable. Running programs appear on the Deskbar. If a program has multiple windows only one icon is shown but clicking on the program icon displays a list of open windows you can select from.
It can view files as normal icons, a list of small icons or in a detailed view. No pointless "web" view thanks goodness Although much of BeOS has a MacOS feel to it the windowing system places menus in each window rather than at the top. BeOS offers virtual desktops called "workspaces".
