I've been working on the batch mode first. That runs our kernel just
fine (pre skiloader). I got a coredump in xski that is likely to be
related to getting the source lines in the program window. I don't
expect mayor difficulties.
There's just one thing I want to really fix: the console handling.
The batched mode ski (bski) creates an xterm console by default, just
like ski (interactive; curses UI) and xski (interactive; Motif UI)
bski shouldn't create a console and the FreeBSD port happily uses
stdin and stdout as its console. For xski it's reasonable to create a
xterm based console. For the curses interface I like to have a seperate
curses window instead of a xterm console. The latter might be too much
window space wise.
What I don't have are the syscalls. I also implemented the SSC calls
on a need to have basis. So we're incomplete there as well.
I'll let you know when I have resolved the coredump and when I've
verified the skiloader.
NOTE1: I'm porting to Alpha at the same time. Both i386 and Alpha are
in the same state.
NOTE2: The FreeBSD port of ski depends on OpenMotif.
