JS/UIX - a JavaScript UN*X
Felix EhlersJS/UIX is a virtual OS written entierly in JavaScript and uses DHTML to render a simple 80 columns terminal.
It is designed to be run in any standard web-browser. It features a UN*X-like operating environment with no intention of any full POSIX compatibility. Some standard commands have been implemented at full range others with just simple syntax or basic functionality, while new commands have been added. The only application for now is a simple implementation of vi.
