Didn’t do anything today. Everything seems to be working fine. I’m
thinking about releasing the DOS and Win16 clients tonight.
Yesterday’s news: Fixed the “cannot create console” problem some
win32 clients were reporting at 1024×768 and 640×480. Fixed the win32
restart bug. Speeded up the shutdown procedure a bit. Oh, yeah. Fixed
(what Silby termed a “minor bug”!) the ^2 of the time slice for DES
cores. That was real fun to watch on my NetWare machine.
Friday: worked with chrisb (rather he worked while I just lounged
around) on the x86 coprocessor board support he’s doing for RISC OS.
We giggled half the afternoon away until we finally decided that the
best solution would probably be to stop building RISC OS
clients and instead insist that RISC PC users buy x86 option boards
to run a win32 client running under a WINE binary built for Linux
under FreeBSD which would be running under BOCHS in a DOS emulator
in a Mac emulation which would have been previously spawned by an
XFree session under EMX that had been started by command.com run
by winoa386.mod in a winos2 session running under OS/2.
