- Short: AROS - Amiga Replacement OS
- Author: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@fh-konstanz.de) and many others
- Uploader: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@fh-konstanz.de)
- Version: 1.8
- Type: misc/emu
-
- New this time:
- - Renamed "openwin" to "demowin".
- - Implemented PROPGADGETS
- - Even more bugfixes (librarytest works now :)
- - Many new README's. Developers should have a look at README.porting,
- README.contents, README.CVS and README.jobserv depending on what they
- want to do.
- - Many new function from M. Fleischer (we have now 236 funcions in all)
- - Many new function from I. Templeton (Utility.library)
- - NIL: and RAM: devices from M. Fleischer
- - AROS now uses the AFD-COPYRIGHT
- - ***Developers: If you update from 1.7, you *MUST* call "make clean"
- because some headers have changed.
- - New CLI commands: Mount, Assign, MakeDir, Delete
-
- This project's goal is to provide a public available AmigaOS which
- is compatible with AmigaOS 3.1 (Kickstart 40.70) able to run on
- other hardware than the Amiga (but on the Amiga also). The current
- memberlist:
-
- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (coordination)
- Matthias Fleischer (coding, ie. he's the one who works ;-) )
- Martin Steigerwald (port to Alpha and Sparc)
- Peter Boeckmann (coding some small functions)
- Iain Templeton (FreeBSD port and utility.library)
-
- and some 300 others (which are not mentioned here since they have not
- written a line of code yet).
-
- !!! IMPORTANT: TO USE AROS IN THE CURRENT FORM, YOU MUST HAVE LINUX ON A
- PC WITH INTEL CPU (eg. 386, 486, Pentium) AND X11R6 !!!
-
- There are two archives which contain different things:
-
- AROSdev##.lha
- AROSbin##.lha
-
- where ## is the version-number. The dev archive contains all files
- neccessary to create bin and dev archives and to build/port the
- complete tree. The bin Archive right now contains everything to test
- AROS on Linux, ie. it contains an executable which simulates an Amiga
- and some binaries to test it (Dir, List, Echo, LibraryTest and OpenWin).
- Sorry, no Amiga port at this time.
-
- If you want to contribute, read README.CVS. Right now, you need access
- to a Unix site to do this (or a friend you trust) to generate a password.
