- Subject: XBRA_install()

- I like the idea of having system calls to install something in a system
- vector. With the system handling Xbra (BTW, has anyone read the extended
- XBRA, where a JMP instruction is put between the address and the XBRA ids?
- That way you just BRA to the JMP to fall through. It's not fully
- compatible with existing XBRA though) and being able to unlink vectors
- the system could become MUCH more stable. Perhaps you should just
- modify Setexec() or one or more of the other calls. MiNT could handle
- these calls, which currently violate protection anyway. MiNT would
- make sure they were XBRA installed, could check privaleges, and unlink
- them at termination.
-
- Very nice idea.
