If it works well enough to run our > loader and kernel code, they I would really like a copy... 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. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
