Hello ladies and Gentlefish. I've decided that I would upload my operating system for ComputerCraft. This Operating system is very primitive and was only made to prove that I could. I'm uploading it because I've decided that I want to get critiqued on it.

Background Information
ZoS was started about 1 or 2 years ago and it was an off and on project. I stopped all together and never picked it back up. Then sporadically on October 10, 2014 I found mimic. It was like a blessing from the gods. I finally found an emulator that I could use on my chromebook and finally could code at school. I then started to re-code ZoS from what I had left and then ended up with what I have now. ZoS Is not a master piece, the one true OS that deserves that title, in my eyes, is OneOS. After watching a couple of tutorials and getting help on the forums I feel confident that this can be a very basic os. Any suggestions could help but I'm still re-learning lua so if I can't implement it just yet wait.

Feature
ZoS is bundled with the following programs when it starts
SpoilerLoginGUI - smigolpol - I edited the path to where it saves the login list.
Ice-Browser - CureCurtain - I edited it to show ZROOT as it's home.
Smart Paste - Crainium
Fire Wolf - GravityScore
Ink - Oeed
Sketch - Oeed
BBtetris - Bomb Bloke
GUIAPI - account.username
The login may not be practical but it actually creates a document folder for the username you give. As of right now you can't choose not to create a user as I have not created the usercreation function in the main.

 pastebin get pcf1UHwD installer
pastebin run pcf1UHwD 

That is about it. I just wanted to post the OS. I'm still updating it and I want to add more. Like way more. So remember that this is still in 0.1BETA.
Thank you.

I'm surprised anyone got this wrong, but GravityScore created Firewolf. Topic here.

I have no idea that I screwed that up. I guess it shows that I should proof-read my credits file. Fixed

I made an account but couldn't login because I username'd too hard
