Hi, > There are already really good open source implementations of POSIX.
Mind to point me to those? The best I know are GNU/Linux and some BSD variants. Quite frankly, they all suck. We (well, most of us at least) aren't aiming at creating a perfect system. All we really want is a considerably better implementation of something resembling POSIX. (Including extensions that, in conjuction with the more powerful base architecture, allow both users and programmers to avoid the biggest problems of POSIX.) Of course, in the long run we want to move away from POSIX; and we are trying to create a migration path, be it through extensions, be it through slight changes, be it through alternative interfaces where unavoidable. But we definitely do *not* want to make POSIX applications some kind of second class citizens. -antrik- _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
