Hello,
For those interested by the differences and advantages of
QDOS-SMSQ/E-Stella architecture there is some news.
In south of France, Montpellier, there is a company named
Nexwave, www.nexwave-solutions.com
I had found them by chance during summer 99 and I visited
them with TT (we were in Montpellier to visit Palm Computing).
It turned out to be a very interesting visit. A team of 3, 2 salesmen,
1 programmer, try to reinvent system software. And what they
do is very close to what TT described in his document about
Stella. For those interested, there is a white paper that
explain what they are doing.
Interestingly there is a very tiny link between QL and
their activity. They come from the Amiga world. Emmanuel
Marty, their programmer, seems to have learned a lot on
this computer. And you maybe remember that the first OS
of the Amiga was done by Metacomco because Metacomco
had a good experience of the 68000 processor due to
QL... (OK I wrote a _tiny_ link)
Emmanuel is in the same league as TT. He has compiled
a web page about OSes and he has put some comments
about Stella into it. It is at http://tunes.org/Review/OSes.html
Ah yes, my idea was that TT could work with them. But
this has not happened until now. And I don't know why.
