Redstar 2 from North Korea. Any trading software for this?

tmarket · Apr 6, 2010

Red Star could be bought in Pyongyang for around $5. With some tweaks, IB TWS should be able to run on this operating system. One problem could be running at year 99 of Kim Il-sung, instead of 2010.

The operating system represents the determination of North Korea to advance its own computer technology, based on its "Juche" self-reliance philosophy.

The Red Star operating system uses a popular Korean folk song as its start-up music and numbers years using a calendar which starts counting from the birth of state founder Kim Il-sung, making 2010 the 99th year.

It is Linux-based but is heavily influenced by Microsoft with versions of the software giant's Office programmes, including several familiar games.

It runs only in the Korean language and takes 15 minutes to install, reports said.

It has games, an e-mail system known as Pigeon and a Mozilla's Firefox internet browser - which has the North Korean government website as a home page.

The US government has banned the uploading and downloading of open source code to residents of a handful of countries on its sanctions list, which includes North Korea.
