Is anyone else interested in having Emacs 23.3. ported?
I'm willing to invest 200$ (perhaps more) :)
I had a quick look at the 20.6 sources (emx port) and unfortunately it seems that it will not be a straight forward port due to the graphical PM interface ???

About JNLP, it is not included in OpenJDK AFAIK. I tried some other JNLP java clones like OpenJNLP, netx and xito but I didn-t find them interesting. The ones that work I don't know how to load a JNLP file. Possible you also should try it and tell your experience.
About LVM tool and the TCP/IP configuration tool I think we need a replacement (preferable open source) for those modules. I don't think it had been updated in a long while.
I was trying I2P Anonymous Network (http://www.i2p2.de/), but the installer is not extracting any files. But it was interesting that you can do a "java -jar i2pinstall_0.8.6.exe" to a windows exe file.. very interesting. Anybody that makes it work, please let me know.

Yeah ultimately that may also be wortha try - for now I'll try the X11 route. Mucking around with X11R6 is something new and interesting for me :)

Hi demetrioussharpe,
First I am not a programmer but I've read enough to be dangerous :) . It sounds impossible what you are trying to do: replacing the OS/2 kernel with something else without a complete rewrite of the other subsystems. For example, Reactos. And Reactos has been in alpha for so many years and is not even complete yet!
Perhaps I am misinterpreting what you are saying. A longer explanation might be useful for lay people like us.
Ok, here's the basics of it:
All programs, whether they're apps or system services, communicate with the kernel through the support DLLs. For OS/2, all system calls will eventually find their way to DLLs like doscall.dll or doscall1.dll. These kinds of DLL are the entrypoint. They serve to isolate the app from the kernel. As long as these DLLs behave as normal, the kernel can be changed & none of the apps will notice a difference. So, you change the kernel & you create the support DLLs for the apps to communicate with the kernel through.
Demetrious, I'm glad you are around and helping to develop new things for this great OS. You seem to know your stuff and I'm in no position to question your intentions. Beware of comments and opinions other people post here.
I still remember a good programmer that created a great multimedia extension and after many critics and misinformed remarks he decided to leave, never to return to this day. His classes are still one of the best examples of why OS/2 is still a superior system.
Anyway, I hope you continue your work on OpenGL and reach your goal. We need all the help we can have I personally I don't think we are in a position to say this is important and this is not. If we want something specific to be done then we should put money into it, otherwise I see no point in the argument
Thanks and good coding
