1. EuOS 1.6 is out
I just put EuOS 1.6 on my website. I've added a lot... a root filesystem
(so you can access files on the normal filesystem), a /dev filesystem,
and a driver for console I/O. I've also added to the kernel a bit, fixed
a few bugs, and added error checking code. Finally, I've added several
programs including a very simple shell which allows you to run any
program in the foreground or in the background, a hello world program,
and a port of the sieve benchmark to EuOS (so it supports
multitasking... you can run it in the background with the shell command
/bin/sieve& and then run other programs at the same time). It's all
available at http://JJProg.tripod.com/euos.html. I've also added a
README file with a brief description of the shell. I'll add more
detailed documentation on everything later.

If someone downloads your EUOS. It would be helpful to include
a file on how to use it. All I found is a ZIP file with a number
of include files with no explaination of how to even start up the
kernel.

Included with the most recent sources is a README file which explains how to
start EuOS and how to use the shell to run the example programs. I'll write
more detailed documentation later, but this should be enough to get you
started. Apparently, the files got corrupted somehow. I just uploaded the
files again, and I'll download and check them to make sure everything is
correct.

It might be more helpful to name the kernel.e file to kernel.ex
( which is the standard extent for the main file ) this would be less
confusing to the user who will not know which file to start with, and
print out a usage message when it is started.

Yes, kernel.ex would be a more sensible name for now... I'll change that the
next time I update the sources (which should be soon, along with some
additional documentation). I named it kernel.e to go along with an idea I had
which would make the kernel completely seperate from all programs, drivers etc.
- instead there would be a "distribution" which would include kernel.e along
with the programs, drivers etc. Since I have not written such a program, I
agree that kernel.ex would be a more sensible name for now.

And just to show how adaptable I am, I rewrote programs.e to load all .e
files with a special signature and wrote several program-lets for EuOS, 4
of which use the command line!
