It'd be really helpful to know whether they consider it desirable to ship it with "Open"Linux and deny it the rest of the FS world, or whether they'll let us take a stab at it as well. I for one could be very easily sold on the idea of throwing it into the DOScmd stuff and nearly/totally replacing the 'standalone' DOS emulation code. (ie. in "non-boot" mode, you'd treat the DOS app being run as an embedded application, or something similar) For this to work, though, the source has to be available and shareable, not to mention buildable. > Sean. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
