You are right: We are providing ALL the documented Section 2 calls in our own kernel. The rest (such as libc, etc.) are just compiled (with minimal modifications) from NetBSD and BSD4.4. We are also porting applications such as the GNU collection, BSD4.3, etc. As I mentioned before, the only modifications that we had to worry about were to the open() and fopen() calls due to the differences in handling text files on UNIX and OS/2. -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------ -- PCBSD Development Manager -- -- Service Commitment Support -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------
