Hi

New release 0.0.49 at
ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/vms/freevms (freevms-0_0_49.tgz and linker-0_0_45)
(Linker might not change each time)

news:
In general:
Better buildinfo in HOWTO and FAQ, and use info in USE.
Initialize utility
VMS I/O system can now do more than one device of one kind.
An ODS2 file image now can be used as a dfa0 device (still has to be mounted
by standing in its directory)
A single cluster disk can now be used as dua0 (use mount _file, where file
resides in /file on other node. This needs to be reimplemented soon)
Changes in copy utilities import (into ODS2) and copy (from ODS2); the old
copy has been renamed to export, while both have been combined into a new
copy which can copy from RMS to RMS (only on ODS2 for the moment).
(Copy is also tested under OpenVMS)

For CONFIG_VMS:
The UML ubd disk devices now can be seen as daa0.
The 386 ide disk devices partititons now can be seen as dqa0.

Bugfix:
CONFIG_VMS:
Dir and other on ext2 now works better.

New bug:
ODS2 write-support seems to have gotten some problems.
CONFIG_VMS:
RMS dir can not be done on ext2 root /.

Note (for CONFIG_VMS):

Short-term I/O and other plans:
(Same as before, wanted this time to give priority to I/O structures)
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
