  Re: Re: Scheduler patch
 
Joe I think proportional timeslicing would be a nice thing if the implementation would be efficient and straightforward. I don't consider my patch to be that. Would still be nice to see a snippet of your code. How do the other kernel developers feel (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Linux, Cygwin, DJGPP: what is it all about?
 
What exactly needs to be done to 'upgrade' DJGPP to work with the new LegOS? Are these same changes required for cygwin? I assume the 'unix' part of this is done by the "LegOS Team", which means it works with Cygwin, but now someone (like Ed) needs (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Scheduler patch
 
I have found that using proportional timeslicing works great in many situations. It is more forgiving for new developers, since a "runaway" process will not block processes of lower priority. (runaway process used here to mean a process which never (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  *** Remainder: legOS new name poll ***
 
Remember that the search for the new name for legOS is en route. The procedure is the following: 1) send your name proposals (10.06. - 22.06.) Please mail me your name ideas. Do this with a personal e-mail to: legOS-namepoll@gmx.de The subject line (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Linux, Cygwin, DJGPP: what is it all about?
 
Hello Ed, problems, problems, problems :) <sigh> Never knew your DOS life is so complicated. Seems urgent to handle this for the new release (easy to say this because I don't have a DOS based legOS system...) (...) Never saw this link. (...) Really? (...)

  Re: Linux, Cygwin, DJGPP: what is it all about?
 
Hello Steve, (...) I don't see a problem in the inclusion of a legOS.srec. But I don't know what happens if you compile your user programs with some other compiler then that building the legOS.srec. And I think that compiling the legOS system is a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Wow. Michael, this helps a lot. Thanks. But now I have some other questions... (...) Yes, that makes sense.
