See http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Krzysztof Bytnerowicz (krzysztof@ibm.net) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- Regarding a recent WarpCast message: http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4780.html I had a brief look at the Russian pages describing the "VM/2 project": http://www.baltics.ru/~andrew/ And I want to offer a bit of clarification: 1. In my understanding it is not a VM implementation under OS/2, (by VM I understand IBM Virtual Machine Operating System), but rather a project utilizing the concept of Virtual Machine to design the new operating system for 486 (and up) platform. The project plan assumes a possibility of using some of OS/2 components/ideas, like device drivers. So far, as I understand, the project is at the specifications definition stage. 2. There are OS/2 (and Linux) implementations of IBM's VM, like ESLI but are not freely available, like other S360/370/390 emulations for OS/2. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
