Hello Everyone,

I just subscribed to the email list. (Oh, NO! Not *him*...!)

I downloaded the source for NewOS and was looking it over.
I was wondering whether there was anything different in the 
the floppy image vs. the most current source code....?

I notice a thread_test() routine called in main2() and wondered if this
is active in the floppy image. I didn't see any messages but perhaps
my hardware is antiquated.

I guess I'm wondering 'where are you at and how can I help' ?

Are you implementing anything like XFS for a journaling file system?
I have the docs for that and a spare HD.
I am also big on memory management and hardware drivers
(paging directories, page tables, page table entries...etc.)
Does the memory management need to be changed for BeOS?
Demand paged virtual....maybe? I have LRU code around here 
somewhere.

Let me know what you want done.

Peter
