Good for the existing code base. what 'existing' source base ? there's no MASM sources around. and noone cares enough to port TASM->NASM, unless you DO IT YOURSELF. > And I really hope that it will be possible to compile the kernel with Turbo > C in the near future. this sentence disqualifies you as an even semi serous contributor to the kernel list. please go away. >> is it something like the bible, or should it be something >> reflecting (intended) reality ? > I suggest that it describes reality, but that original intentions are > not removed but just marked as obsoleted. I think, that a spec should describe the projects intention. and it's certainly not the kernels intention to be compilable with any compiler. the intention is to build a MSDOS compatible kernel; use the approriate tools (free if possible) > Config sys compatibility: For ME, non-menued (DOS 5?) config sys is > fine, and I am not worried by the fact that our menu language is > different. Might be a point which is open for discussion. it's not open for discussion. it's open for PROGRAMMING. > Are you sure that there can be up to 64 STACKS?

I'm pissed by GPL - for known reasons. tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
