Temporary Shelving of DremDOS

I Can't Develop DremDOS Right Now My laptop finally broke down to the point where it is very hard to use. I preordered a laptop from Newegg, but it will be out of stock for a while due to COVID-19. DremDOS is not at all dead, but until I get my new laptop, it will have to be dormant. This is probably for the best as well because this will allow us to migrate to either Dev Kit or Aura Operating System's COSMOS fork , both of which don't want to work with Visual Studio 2019, which I made the mistake of using.  In the meantime, I'm going to start merging the DremDOS blog and Innovation Inc. blog together.

It doesn't work due to a bug in the current user kit that isn't present in the current dev kit. I'll fix it once I have a new machine in (hopefully) under a week. Create new folders 0:\dremdos\ - holds important stuff for DremDOS (configs and stuff). Currently only used for done.txt 0:\home\ - holds user information (multiuser not yet implemented) Write the done.txt file This file serves two functions Tell DremDOS not to run setup again Tell DremDOS what user account to log in to (currently only automagically changes directory to user's home directory. This will be changed once multiuser...
