Hey! what is that supposed to mean? The problem is that -- look at Willows TWIN, Wine, WABI -- is that Windoze is so d*mn undocumented that it's well-nigh impossible to reverse-engineer the entire API. If the WINE team has taken years and years and years (and Alexandre Juilliard is a *brilliant* programmer -- look at his code) then it's just about impossible for ONE guy, no matter how brilliant, to do better. I didn't make any claims to brilliance myself, just stating a fact. :P > > Mas believable pa yung x86 emulator (since the x86 instruction set is > > well-documented -- Bochs was mostly written by one person). > > based on their description of MOSES, it seems like vmware/bochs to me, not > a WINE thing... Well THAT is believable. As I said, Kevin whats-his-name developed Bochs mostly by himself. The Intel x86 architecture and instruction set is small, well-documented, and doesn't move. :) --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
