Star System also known as Star OS (codenamed "PowerDOS" in the end of 2014 and "Lipsel" in early 2015) is a 16-bit DOS based operating shell targeted for developers. It was set to be a rival to Mike OS and it's distros. Graphics Star OS graphics was written in VGA mode and can support 8-bit color. The GUI design was designed heavily using Assembly Language interrupts which is INT 10H Programs The Star OS only has 5 built in programs as listed below: *Prism (VGA color display) *TextEdit (Basic text editor) *Paint (Image Editor) *Antialias (which was meant to debug fonts. But, it will most likely to crash the operating system due to Stack overflow *Launcher (The default file/shell manager of the operating system) Design and Booting Star OS uses DOS style booting which requires AUTOEXEC.BAT. The kernel itself was built into the bootloader in order to reduce disk size. The programs were probably part of the kernel. To increase performance, Star OS uses the new "Dual-kernel" design which is consist of "Main kernel" and the "secondary kernel". The main kernel is actually a monolithic DOS kernel and the secondary kernel is actually a lighter, microkernel-like kernel built into the shell.
