[greg] Looks good. When are you going to add support for 2.11BSD? :-)
[warren] I've just started. Emulating all 150+ syscalls is going to take a
while. I'll try to modify the V7 syscall support for 2.11BSD; that should
get most simple programs working. After that, one syscall at a time....
[greg] Hmm. I suppose the networking will cause you the most headaches
(maybe... maybe, of course, you can pass them through to FreeBSD
almost unchanged). Most of the things I use the PDP 11 for are
networking (letting people dial in, etc), but I'll certainly try
things out as soon as you think it would be worthwhile.
I'm thinking sometime early next year for an initial release with
just the `V7' syscalls in the 2.11BSD emulation. As you said, many of
the syscalls will be a pass-thru, with just args and return values to
be mapped.
I'll let the list know as I go...
