Right. Well, I will probably still check it out anyway, just to see how it looks like on-calc.

I'm not sure if it will be bootable. I'm guessing not, since I'm pretty sure he's releasing the kernel.

Yes, it's gonna be a very basic version, so that programmers can start developping their programmes. So that when it is released, it doesn't take much time to start publishing programs.

I'm pretty sure it was to develop things for the OS, like the y= thing, etc. Like utilities, not programs. Not sure, though.

No, the developer release is so developers can get a jump start on writing programs.  And it is still on track, although I'd love for someone else to finish the Flash control routines for me

I thought you finished that part? What still needs to be done for it?

The ErasePage routine still needs to be done, and I need to figure out which sector to use for the swap sector, and better define the garbage collect routines.

I think there is a bcall for erase page. You could disassemble that.

EDIT: well, it's only for sectors since nothing else physically works, but there is bcall(8024).  I guess you would have to back up the 3 pages you don't want to erase. So, you would have to erase the swap sector, swap the pages you want in there, then erase the original sector and swap back, I think.

I know how to do it, I just don't want to take the time to do such a complex method.  ErasePage is already there.

I wonder if there will be a public non-dev release available at one point so people can give some of the features a try, unless the entire GUI and features for non-development purposes are coming at the very end?

Of course there will be a public release eventually
The GUI will probably be partially present in the dev version.  Most non-development tools will be coming later on, though.  At any time, you can always download the source and assemble it, if you like.

Still fits on one page, although it is spread out on three atm.

Wow pretty small, still.

Oh, and one of those three pages is available for user data.  And the 3rd page will probably be used as a temporary swap sector.
