- Sure, that was my goal from the beginning, but I couldn't think of another
- way to do it. That would mean the interrupt handler has to be able to call
- a MiNT kernel routine without going thru a trap vector or other exception
- handler. I suppose you could have a system call that returns the address of
- the post_sig routine, and have the user poke this into their interrupt
- handler code...
-
- Please note that we already have copies of Digital Storefront in distribution
- using the Psigintr stuff, so I need to know ASAP what the new scheme will be.

- Howard: would the ability to send signals from an interrupt handler make
- Psigintr() unnecessary? If so, I think this would be a better solution,
- since I would prefer not introducing any (more) reliance on the ST's
- hardware; maybe someday we'll have machines without MFPs.
