Nope DCS7 is the only one still under active development. MirageOS 1.3 had no news since 2005 or so, Crunchy since 2004 and Ion since 2002 I think.

And of those, only ion released the source, though it looks like BrandonW (or someone) disassembled MirageOS:

That is....pretty damn amazing.

very cool, my friend.

Wow, that's awesome!  How'd you do it?

Pretty much, I detect whenever the source code open in the program editor has changed to become an Axe program (this mainly applies to the action of opening an Axe program). I then scan the entire program for any AsmComp( tokens (that's #Axiom( in Axe). For each one found, I check that it's in a valid position (e.g. not in the middle of a line, in a string, etc.) and then attempt to locate the appvar. If found, I skip to the end of the Axiom and check for a second header after the standard Axiom footer that signals that the Axiom includes token replacements, and if so, these token replacements are cached in RAM. Then, it's just the simple matter of running the token hook as usual, but checking this area of RAM in addition to Axe's built-in token replacements.

Although to be fair, the whole process wasn't a simple matter. Every time I wanted to test a change, I had to hex-edit my hook into the Axe application. And I tried to do the whole thing in a very optimized manner, which means trying multiple code possibilities every step of the way. I must've spent over a dozen hours on this thing.


One thing that this upgraded hook does not do is dynamically check for Axioms while the program is being edited. Adding such a feature would be a bit of a pain and probably add at least 50 bytes and slow down the hook, so I figured it's just best to leave it out. If you want to reload Axioms, it's easy enough to do so by closing and reopening the program.

Wow.. and what happen if :
- An axiom use same token than Axe parser ?
- two axiom have same tokens ?
