Hi everyone,
yes, but you have to create everything even api's that display the text on the screen. You can also do it for gui's but you have to create your own look and feel and gui packages

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

No, since to do so would require you to write an operating system to some extent.

That's generally what I do, so yes.

cmos chips for things like vending machines and such like use little programs on chips with no os. Close as you can get i spose to having no os. But it is still running operations so it's an os. Sort of like how long is a bit of string.

Programs that run on computers without needing an operating system are called "operating systems".
