I just checked in a change to CVS which adds a new feature. Let me know
if you have any problems with this:

/* When no program is running, pressing the "view" button cycles through
* a display of the amount of the amount of free memory (in decimal and
* hexadecimal) and battery power. If a button other than "view" is
* pressed while cycling through, we handle that button.
*/

I think it'll be very useful.

I have some more check-ins planned for the upcoming weeks (graduation is
around the corner! woohoo!):

* A reliable networking protocol, with libraries for the host
* Changes to the networking layer to make it more efficient
   (mainly by copying data less)

I worked on a reliable transport protocol written on top of LNP for my
thesis a few months ago.  It was my intention to make it available on the
Internet, but I wasn't very happy with the implementation, because it was
too big and clumsy.  So I wanted to change some points before posting it,
but after graduation my work didn't give me much spare time.  Things should
change in a pair of weeks, so I hope to have more time for lego and legOS.

I have studied thoroughly the LNP code to write my protocol (and noticed
aspects that could be improved).  I uploaded a patch on SourceForge and I
know that Paolo is working on it (I know also that he doesn't have much
spare time too).  So, if you are interested, I'd be happy to help.
