	I have tried EDT, and I will commit it in the CVS.

I like it.

Check out my website www.o3one.org

I would have worked on freevms except when I looked at it, it seemed dead,
so I went on ahead with my ideas.  I've thought of taking my OS and just
making VMS-like calls to its guts.  It has ast's, event flags, logical
names, etc.

One thing also that stopped me from doing a true VMS clone is the x86's
only have 2 usable protection modes, user and kernel.  Real VMS uses four.
  What did you do to get around this?

I don't know what you mean by help with the CPU.  I know x86's and Alphas
quite well, maybe you can tell me what you need done.  As far as stuff
like REMQTI, etc, they could be done as INT calls or something like that,
is that what you're getting at?

You can take my EDT if you want (it runs under my os, linux and real vms).
  I noticed it at the bottom of your list.  It's fairly true to the
original.
