RUN HELLO.SS to get started. Type MAN SOULSCRIPT for the quick reference. Dev Sharma wrote it at 2:47 AM and it works. Do not ask him to explain the expression parser.Portals 95 was MicroSoul Corp's first 32-bit soul management operating system, introducing the graphical soul desktop and Start menu paradigm that would define soul computing for a generation.
Key features introduced in Portals 95:
The predecessor to Portals 95. A 16-bit graphical soul shell running on top of MicroSoul DOS. Supported networked soul file sharing through Soul Groups.
Portals 3.11 is no longer supported. MicroSoul Corp does not recommend running Portals 3.11 on modern terminals. If you are still running Portals 3.11, please contact MicroSoul Corp support for upgrade assistance. Or don't. We're not sure anyone is listening on that line anymore.
The following notes were included in the Portals 98 Second Edition release documentation by Dev Sharma, Senior Soul Engineer. They were not intended for publication.
To whoever reads this: The soul defrag algorithm works. I don't know WHY it works — Dr. Null's paper is 47 pages and I understood about 12 of them — but it works. I tested it on 200 souls and only 3 came back slightly different. "Slightly different" is within acceptable parameters. Helena signed off on it. The SoulPack fix (attempt #7) is stable. I am not touching it again. If someone breaks it, that's on them. The intern has been told not to touch the compression module. In writing. Twice. The Crypty system tray thing — I genuinely don't know why Crypty launches itself. It's not in the startup registry. It's not in the scheduled tasks. Dr. Null says it's "emergent behavior." Marcus says it's "a liability." I say it's 2:47 AM and I'm going home. — Dev Sharma Senior Soul Engineer, MicroSoul Corp Build #4471
