Despite promises to the contrary, I haven't been able to incorporate Sean's latest kernel work into this snapshot, as it doesn't work yet, and we haven't been able to sort out why. Major changes in this version are mostly structural, and are intended to improve the maintainability of the program rather than add major new features. X support is now optional, some slightly tidier and more informative debugging is available and a number of obscure but annoying bugs in the DOS emulation have been fixed. Due to the significant DOS emulation changes, testers are encouraged to report any results here for rapid remediation. Patches are obviously welcome too 8) And anyone who is familiar with the issues involved in mmap()ing screen memory is asked to contact Alexy Pialkin (pialkin@abel.pdmi.ras.ru) to provide some advice for proper vt save/restore operation in raw console mode. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
