Hi

New release 0.0.48 at
ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/vms/freevms (freevms-0_0_48.tgz and linker-0_0_45)
(Linker might not change each time)

news:
For CONFIG_VMS:
Ext2 support for the common blocksizes.
RMS on Ext2 (read and execute support, no write).
Use of FCBs and WCBs in memory mapping, pagefault and execve.

Bugfix:
CONFIG_VMS:
Some ext2-related with i_size=0.

Note (for CONFIG_VMS):
It is possible to set init=[bin]sh and init=[vms\$common.sysexe]dcl.
Can also do things like dir [usr.bin] and type [etc]group and
mcr [bin]ls
RMS on Ext2 may bug some.
Only ELF-files can be execved, shell-scripting is broke for now.
For some reason the new stuff (except maybe blocksizes) does not work
as good on bochs/i386 as with uml.

Short-term I/O and other plans:
Let RMS also use Ext2 with write support.
Execute programs with execve and imgact on Ods-2.
Get more/better write-support in.
Do more SCA/SCS stuff.
At least look at whatever "device" uml uses and NE2000.
After some time even more driver support might be cut/broke (the most).

Regards,
Roar Thronæs
