Al - I would be very interested in seeing your design for the dynamic linking mechanism for 8086 code for ELKS. Being very interested in compilers/linkers and operating system codefile formats, I would be willing to work on the linker mods that might be necessary to keep the linkage

Hi I have this "simple" question: what does 'linuxmt' means (is the directory where the includes are :D ). Why not something like linux-elks, elks or whatever. I'm just curious I think that it would be a good idea to design a logo for the project (something better than just the name). I
