Not my words.. *rofl* here is the one and only chance to christen my os with a second name...

anyway, I am on the way to upload a new release with a kind of vga text drawing (no no windowing yet, it only draws text on the screen) and the font has to be completed yet. The other thing I am working on: variable framebuffer location. At the moment, the location of the framebuffer is hardcoded into the kernel. a possible way is to have the mem-server record this location after startup of the vm86 task - just place a message into it's mailbox to have it fetch the adress (it's communication with the video driver) of the framebuffer and register it. each other process gets its page directory from the mm server ... so I think this is the right way to do it.

@pype: as soon as I find time between work and home business duties (cleaning the flat, cooking, dishwashing ...) I'll redo the vm86 related part of the kernel so that the identifiers are in english language.

Stay safe folks... ah, and before questions arise: No, I won't do a second windows nor a second macos nor a second skyos. Just My Own Work For My Own Purpose.If others can benefit from it: the better

well, nice to see you at 0.02, but i don't see a link or whatever ... i'll just assume your "download disk image" in "EDV->OS" on your website has been updated ...

and tnx in advance for your help on VM86 support ... If you need some AVL trees, or BTrees, feel free to dig Clicker's koLib :p (well, i fear the rest of the system will be harder to reuse, while it wasn't the purpose at all :-/)

Not yet, pype. I've been busy with soldering and screwing and flashing some bios chips and afterwards my sunshine took me by my hands and lead me out of the flat into the chill breeze outta there in vienna. So, no actual update yet. A link here is to come too, all of it tomorrow.

Soooo, here it is

the vbe2.0 part of it does not work with the bochs, vm86 seems to crap out on some laptops, but at least on two pc's it works fine.

stay safe
