Well the M$-DOG stuff is a hard problem here is a list of things that must be
modified to compile TV under UNIX:
1) The screen routines in view.cc, this routines uses the PrimaryScreen, etc
and the dosmem... routines and buffers.
2) The rest of Screen class to switch between video modes, etc.
3) The mouse system, actually uses Int 0x33.
4) The keyboard system, actually uses BIOS, in this point you can adapt some of
the libkbd-09 (or some thing like this), this routines supports Linux and have
an amaizing control over the keyboard (at least under DOS).
The 90% of the codes remains untouched, but you must get access to Screen,
Mouse and Keyboard, these thing can be achived with the SVGALib.
Notes:
a) I'm interesed on a port of RHIDE to Linux.
b) I made a program in Linux that uses screen, mouse and keyboard using the
SVGALib, is a GIF viewer with scroll using the keys and or the mouse.
bye SET.
