Hi, [UZIX] 1st of all: Adriano = *BIG* Fudeba :-D Yes. It ignores MSX-DOS2. Can it work with harddisks as well? MegaSCSI users can write the demo disk-image in a extended partition, select it at A: drive and boot UZIX without problems. Now UZIX can access any MSX disk-drive, floppy

[UZIX] For now, there are 50 utils compiled for UZIX. All of them are in the demo disks available on UZIX page. Ok, is it much work to compile an average util, like top or so? *grin* How much work is it to type 'make' ? ;-) Eric (sorry, couldn't resist ;-)) MSX

In my 5x86 100MHz, about 1 minute... I mean, including adaptions for Hi-Tech C. So top is not a good example. It was written from scratch. The time to port a program to UZIX depends of your C knowledge, the program size and complexity. I can't give you a precise value.

Manuel, I mean, not with virtual terminals, but just occupying the other terminal. E.g. user1 logs in, and starts 2 background jobs. Then, he types somting as "login user2", and user2 logs in. He can now also start bg jobs. When he does top, he sees processes of user1

I would like to present you a new operating system for MSX. It's called UZIX. What is UZIX? UZIX is a UNIX implementation for MSX. UZIX is based on UZI written by Douglas Braun and ported to PC and MSX by Archi Schekochikhin and me, Adriano C. R. da Cunha.
