Have you looked at the EROS project ? It is being produced by a current IBM staffer. It is far more sophisticated than Linux or OS/2 The Extremely Reliable Operating System is an operating system built from the ground up, and provides formally verifiable security, practical reliability, and high performance. " Jonathan Shapiro, Ph.D., is the key designer of EROS, a small, capabilities-based open-source operating system notable for its secure architecture. Shapiro began work on EROS as a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania along with colleagues Sam Weber, Norm Hardy, Jonathan Smith and Mike Berry. Shapiro is now a member of the research staff in the Pervasive Computing Department at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratories in New York, where he works on secure and reliable operating systems." After all, OS/2 is 16 years old now. Operating system technology has moved on. Time to put your efforts into something else perhaps ? Another option is Plan 9 from Vita Nueva -------------------------------------------------------- Cthulhu Fthagn ! -------------------------------------------------------- Come see, real flowers of this pain-filled world.
