Yeah. I have to agree with Ross. Increased unix-ness would be nice, but
additional complexity with no actual performance gain most definitely is
not.

That said, like the remote patch that I'll post sometime this weekend,
I'll take patches for whatever and post them if people want to.

I'd also like to (if people have things they'd like to contribute) open
up a contrib section for legOS programs that are cool or useful (and all
programs are useful, if for no other reason than as examples for other
people.) Anyone care to contribute code?

that's what i've been doing right now. currently, legos uses conio
which i've used long time ago. so i work on interface like linux has.
like using open() + write() instead of cputs().
right now, i don't have open(), that's because i have to write code
for virtual filesystem first.
i haven't investigate deeper on legos, i'm still figuring out how
to do fork(). what do you think?

i also don't understand why some functions (like cls()) are in the
kernel instead of the libc?
i'll send you diff if you like.

Well, as someone else has said in this thread, if you're doing it for fun, or
to learn more about memory management / file systems, etc, then got for it. But
I wouldn't expect much of it to be included in the official versions - you've
got to remember we're dealing with a relatively tiny address space, and the
extra overhead in the kernel would significantly reduce the max size of user
programs / data.

But if you get anything going, you should probably create patch files which can
be posted on the sourceforge site for anyone interested.

Regards,

ROSCO
