I recall mention of DesqViewX allowing an X-server for a 286, but I can't
say I've ever seen it.
There are also versions of PC-Xview that run on 286. One under Windows 3.1
in standard mode, and one that runs under DOS. I seem to remember seeing
several copies of each a Weird Stuff Warehouse
: The parent process's data segment is not copied, just re-alloced, and
: rather than returning to the parrent process, fork sleeps on the parents
: child_wait wait queue.
Let me try to remind myself of the vfork semantics Basically,
rather than copying the data segment on
Someone was doing a port of lcc to the 8086/8, weren't they? Could whoever it
was get in touch with me? I'm looking for something similar and was wondering
if I could have a look at the .md file.
That's me. Haven't touched it in years. You can get the .md files
at my web site... There
Is lcc-win32 currently generating only 80386 code?
Yes
I looked at all the source some time ago but don't remember. Also,
which distribution are you looking at as the master?
lcc 4.0

Also, what object and executable file formats are currently supported?
LCC doesn't support any object and executable file formats. LCC only supports
assemby output formats. LCC-8086 currently has only a NASM output. NASM
supports multiple object file formats.
My version of lcc-win32 doesn't require an assembler, and outputs PE
format (modified COFF) executables.
lcc-win32 != LCC
lcc-win32 == LCC + assembler + linker + editor + other stuff
LCC ends here ^
As far as I know, the authors of LCC don't consider lcc-win32 to be
an LCC distribution,
Well - for the first version, there's nothing from preventing a program
from issuing the int10 without making the ioctl().
At some point on an 8086 we have to trust programmers not to break the
rules. Without some sort of device driver lock for video, even if it's
an unenforceable
o MSDOS driver support. I wrote a 640x480x16 color driver in about 45 minutes.
NanoX now runs on DOS! (OK, I did this only to see how portable nanoX
is, and the
mouse driver still isn't written) This still uses MSC graphics library.
I'll have the bios
int10 version driver done
There was a Z80 add-on chip that could be purchased for a C64 or a C128.
I think few people used it, tho... :-)
The Z80 wasn't an add-on for the C128, it was there all the time. The C128
shipped with CP/M-Plus. I think using CP/M depended upon having a 1571
drive rather than the 1541.
OK I know this sounds really strange, but are there any plans to port X to
ELKS? I know it won't run on most machines, but I guess a 286 with 2MB
might be able to handle it. After all, win3.1 runs on it...
Maybe just a subset of it's features, just enough to make it possible to
export apps
