The
soul of ZDOS®
Hardware evolves and increases performance over the years, while an OS tends
to grow and slow down, due to all new features added in each release.
ZDOS is developed for performance. Every function in ZDOS is optimized to execute as quickly as possible and future releases will attempt to perform them even quicker.

ZDOS® ZDOS was developed as a 32-bit replacement of 16-bit DOS, but with modern features like multi tasking, demand paging, SMP etc.. As a BIOS vendor we also integrated a complete 32-bit BIOS within ZDOS, in order to restore the power users had in the old, good DOS days. With ZDOS you can do every thing you used to do, but now in a full 32-bit, multitasking environment. You can create 32-bit, multi tasking processes with a lot of threads, invoking safe reentrant 32-bit BIOS and DOS API calls. _________________________________________ ZDOS is fully backward compatible with 16-bit applications using BIOS and DOS APIs. These BIOS and DOS calls are handled entirely by 32-bit code, leaving more memory available between 640K to 1MB, since ZDOS maps locations used by the 16-bit BIOSes to upper memory blocks. Old 16-bit applications runs in their own virtual machines in parallell with 32-bit processes. _________________________________________ ZDOS comes bundled with the Open Watcom tool chain and includes everything needed to develop applications in C, C++ and assembler. For your convenience, the tool chain can be run in both ZDOS and Windows host environments. Our powerful C run time libraries, covering every 32-bit BIOS, DOS or kernel function are also included as a complement to the standard libraries. The source level debugger can be run remotely using TCP/IP, UART or other connections. As Open Watcom is open software, you will have full source on the complete tool chain, including our custom run time libraries. _________________________________________ ZDOS will outperform any of the 32-bit operating systems on the market today. In fact ZDOS is more than 10 times faster than the fastest of our competitors products. With ZDOS you are able to get more work done on a 100MHz CPU than our competitors on a 1GHz CPU. ZDOS reduces product cost as slower CPUs and support circuits are much cheaper than faster ones. You can also use ZDOS on a very fast CPU, to do things not possible with other operating systems. _________________________________________ For more information, please contact us at info@zebor.com.
