That's mainly for Axel, I ported PearPC ( http://pearpc.sf.net ) to BeOS. my patch is in the cvs already, but you'll need some (3 iirc) files from the libroot source archive from ftp.be.com (ugly WCHAR stuff). last build here: http://clapcrest.free.fr/revol/beos/pearpc-cvs.bin.test.3.zip I'm not sure it would boot OBOS at all, but I'm sure Axel will try that :) François.
