Drat, this'll teach us for not telling people what were up to. My brother also has been working on a host filing system for arcem, and it sounds as if they are to a very similar level, both running into issues with !SparkPlug. Hopefully, if you're interested in it, we'll be able to combine the two and make a complete hostfs for Arcem in no time. Also, the chances are if your version works on Linux, it'll also work on the Mac OS X port, so half the platforms are done in one go :) Once my brother has sorted out mailing list issues, hopefully he'll be on to explain what point he's got up too with hostfs. Oh, I'd best say what I'm working on as well, incase it overlaps with anyone else. I've been trying to remove the 800x600 display size limit from the code. This is because certain extra modules can provide larger screen modes that work on 3.1, 1024 x 768 x 16colours, 1280 x 1060 x 2colours and 800 x 600 x 256colours. Plus lots more. Status Linux/X Complete Windows Just Started Mac OS X Untried RISC OS Untried Also whilst I'm hacking around in the display layer, I'll try and move common code from the platforms back to the arch directory. VIDC_PutVal is identical except for the calls to resize the video mode, for example. Oh and I'll try and fix the windows mouse ... it's painful.
