Message-ID: <936@husc6.UUCP> Date: Mon, 22-Dec-86 03:00:14 EST Article-I.D.: husc6.936 Posted: Mon Dec 22 03:00:14 1986 Date-Received: Mon, 22-Dec-86 05:40:13 EST Organization: Harvard University, Cambridge MA Lines: 21 Keywords: BSD clone Xref: mnetor comp.unix.wizards:419 comp.os.misc:4 comp.sys.misc:152 comp.sys.ibm.pc:641 comp.sys.intel:82 I have, for some time, been working on a Unix-like operating system for micros (specifically, my H100...). The project started as a means to run Unix applications without all the bother of rewriting system calls for MS-DOS (fork() is hard to rewrite for MS-DOS :-) and has grown into a fairly complete emultaion of most BSD-style system calls. (Yes, this includes all those wonderful tty ioctls, job control, etc.) The system is nearly finished (but hardly debugged) and I plan to bring it up on ibm-pc style machines soon; it should run without much trouble on any 80*86-based micro. Note that it does not use the Unix file-system and is generally quite unlike Unix internally; only the system calls are the same. Also, it is stand-alone; it does not run under MS-DOS. It seems that this system might be sufficiently useful to distribute for a nominal fee and I would like to know if there is interest in such an offering. I apologize if this sounds like an advertisement (it probably is), but I know that I would have been interested in hearing about such a program before I started to write one. So please try to limit the flames... Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*
