under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha

This is the merged doscmd/rundos project. Please read the man
page for help on configuring doscmd.
Things known not to work:
* No mouse support (yet)
* No raw VGA support (yet)
* Printer support (yet)
* COM ports (being worked on)
* redirected filesystem only supported for DOS 4.0 and above
(3.3 will be supported in a future version)
* Graphics in an X window (only 16 colors, very few programs)
Even with this, I think it is actually a much better product. There have
been problems reported with the ibmpc font and the distributed X server.
If you have that problem, try setting
X11_FONT=fixed
in your .doscmdrc. Be aware that graphics characters will not print correctly
if you do this.
You will need to patch your kernel. Diffs are provided against the CD-ROM.
Please let me know if there are a problem with them (I am running a pre 1.1
kernel now).
It is possible there are some problems in the floppy code due to the fact
that I am not set up to test under 1.0 at this point. I will be in a few
days I hope.
Please send all bug reports to prb@BSDI.COM.
