So what is left to implement before the developer's release?

Basic linking as in USB linking? I could use my arduino to send programs, but that doesn't work for those who are arduino-less.

Also, what is castle?

How far along is the filesystem currently?
Also, I was wondering, are you going to allow for symbolic links?

Basic linking = some way of getting files onto it
Filesystem is barely there.  A functional test filesystem is in place, but the actual KFS is not.  Flash writing is mostly done, though.  And what are symbolic links?

Ah ok.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link or in other words, a file that represents another file. So with symbolic linking you can have the file /home/eeems/some_folder/this_file but with a symbolic link to it located at /link_to_file you can just reference /link_to_file to access it. Symbolic links to directories are also nice :P

Nope, I won't support that.  But someone could probably write a program that does it.

I think I'll try to implement that in Rogue whenever I get the chance to actually do something with it :P

Well, the filesystem is relatively basic.  However, programs will be able to associate themselves with extensions, and symbolic linking could easily be done through such a thing.

Yeah, You could just have a .lnk file.  What happens if two programs use the same extension?  This is getting exciting!

Is that basically a shortcut on windows systems?

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

In the most basic sense, yes, but instead of just being a file, you can actually reference the original file with it, symbolic links are much more complex then shortcuts.
i.e: /home/eeems/Desktop/ha/ has a symbolic link located at /home/ha so instead of having to type out /home/eeems/Desktop/ha/ all the time to access that folder you can now use the shortcut of /home/ha/. Having a symbolic link to a file makes it seem like it is there, so symbolically linking a settings file in one location to another will make it editable by whatever accesses both locations, and unlike a .lnk which when you try to open it you open the shortcut file, symbolic links are followed when you edit them, so instead of the symbolic link file, you open the file it is pointed to.
In short, I much prefer the symbolic link method over the .lnk method due to the limitations that are not in place over symbolic links that are over .lnk files.

Well, he could make certain functions be for certain programs.  So you could claim the edit function and return the original file as well.
