- INTRODUCTION
- ============
-
- Originally created in 1991 or 1992 by Markus Wild, the ixemul.library has
- become the driving force behind the Geek Gadgets project.
-
- Essentially it is a BSD Unix kernel running under the Amiga OS. The
- code for handling Unix signals is taken almost verbatim from the BSD kernel
- sources, for example. Multitasking and file I/O is, of course, passed on
- to the Amiga OS. Because the library resembles BSD Unix so closely, it has
- made it possible to port almost all Unix programs.
-
- However, because of the conformance to BSD, the library is not too
- conservative with resources or overly concerned with Amiga standards. For
- example, command line expansion uses Unix semantics and doesn't use
- ReadArgs(). The purpose of ixemul.library is to emulate Unix as well as is
- technically possible. So given a choice between Amiga behavior or Unix
- behavior, the last one is chosen.
