Hi
New release 0.0.44 at
ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/vms/freevms (freevms-0_0_44.tgz)
news:
A new DCL (ported from Ozone)
It has mcr/run to run things in the VFS FS.
Builtin/external set default and show default/time/devices/system.
Pure external commands like directory, mount and a few more.
Better making of dcl and other userlevel stuff.
It is also possible to make install to rootum and rooti386
which you can copy recursively from.
Options CONFIG_VMS replaces CONFIG_IO_VMS and CONFIG_MM_VMS
(Now they are combined into one)
VMS Memory Management works now on i386 (and bochs) also.
Bugfix:
Some crashes due to acbs needing to be nodelete.
A loop in entry.S made it try to reschedule forever.
ODS2 (file)device access problem (missing I/O-channel in XQP)
Note:
Booting with init=/vms$common/sysexe/dcl on i386 or a bochs panics.
CONFIG_VMS is very experimental, so do not expect it to stay up long
after booting (init=/bin/sh).
Short-term I/O plans (still):
Get write-support in.
At least look at whatever "device" uml uses and NE2000.
After some time a lot of driver support might be cut/broke (the most).
Regards,
Roar Thronæs
