I had a question about doscmd... I know that raw mode isn't yet supported, and neither is vga mode. Does it need to cooperate with syscons via the libvgl interface, or does it directly access video memory via the bios/other? Does raw mode work on BSDI? I tried executing a self-displaying picture with doscmd -r picture.exe and got doscmd: fatal error reading program text. What needs to be done to do access VGA? Also, VGA should be doable under X, even though it would be much tougher. Thanks, Donn P.S. This is far fetched, but I thought I might even be possible to do a non-vga (libvga, syscons) port of netscape since the sources are going to be released soon. This could be tough.
