The main goal of this Phoenix Project is to recreate alternative OS/2 kernel.
On the first stage binary compatible with the latest WSeB kernel need to be produced based on information from DDK, API documentation and other available information sources.
Next, on the second stage, the sources need to be analyzed and re-organized.
Part of very old and legacy code can be removed, well known bugs may be fixed and we can finally start new enhancements and improvements to adopt OS/2 kernel to current hardware needs and modern computing tasks. It will be the third stage.
Also there is OS/2 boot loader OS2LDR that is also part of kernel. And it was already completely rewritten and enhanced with new features like ability to load different kernels with selection on boot stage or passing additional parameters to the kernel.
А может это просто ностальгия и реально качество кода того времени уже давно не годится и делать ничего не стоит.
Вы считаете, что от этого станет хоть на одного способного писать под OS/2 программиста больше?
С нетерпением ждем очередной выпуск OS/2 API Research.
