Someone on BeShare suggested we had a look to the Elate OS : http://www.tao-group.com As I said to him it seems this thing is not only proprietary but only commercial... He insisted, so I promised I'll mail on that. Maybe we still can learn something on that... Another thing: NewOs is ported on DreamCast, do you thing BeOS will ever run on it one day ? ;) BTW, no comments on my mail on /dev/console ? François P.S.: HATE webmail
