|    posix for windows 2000    |

      From: mutazilah@gmail.com              I recently found out about this:              https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#       indows-subsystem              IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_POSIX_CUI       7       The Posix character subsystem                     And I see there is also:              IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_OS2_CUI       5       The OS/2 character subsystem                     So yes - I already know that the POSIX support       is crap and meant for marketing purposes - but       it's probably good enough for me anyway.              I do most of my development under Windows 2000.              And I don't need Microsoft's libraries - I can       provide my own with PDPCLIB (most of it likely       already exists).              What I need to know is - how did a call to       open() or whatever get resolved? Did it do the       same as Linux, ie INT 80H?              Whatever the interrupt or DLL reference - is       this documented anywhere?              And with regard to the OS/2 one - I know that       Windows 2000 can run OS/2 1.x console mode       applications - but those are NE, not PE. This       documentation is for PE. Does an OS/2 2.x       subsystem exist in Windows 2000?              Thanks. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
