As far as I can tell, it lets you run windows apps under U**X. But willows.com has a different definition, which is clearly given in their WEB page. I played with it a little on the weekend. What I'm currently trying to complete is an ExecFBSD.c. This is where the LDT stuff is handled. I started with the ExecLinux.c as an example. Linux' handling of the LDTs is completely different from the way FBSD does it. So basically I (or someone) need(s) to write it from scratch. Other than that I got everything to compile. It just won't link because of the missing LDT stuff. BTW, is there going to be a willows mail list or should the willows discussions be moved to chat ? --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
