   Hi again,   
      
   Here are two more things:   
      
   1) I disassembled and rewrote a part of NOVACAL (the screen driver for   
   Calamus originally for NOVA graphic cards). It was mostly necessary when   
   running in 16 bits mode on the CT60+CTPCI because there, Calamus used to   
   display weird things.   
   So, Calamus can now run on every 16 bits mode (either 15 or 16 bits   
   used) and every endian (Big or Little).   
   NOVACAL can also be used in 24 or 32 bits if the encoding is not the   
   Calamus native one.   
      
   2) Once NOVACAL ready, I experienced problems with Calamus at startup   
   when loading modules, always the same problem with the instruction cache   
   not updated. I was about to patch Calamus when the idea of a universal   
   launcher came: I called it RUNME1ST.   
      
   With it, you can run any program and it flushes the caches each time a   
   file is loaded by the program (supposing it can be an executable module).   
   I added a delay option: after this delay, the caches are not modified   
   anymore (better performances) supposing that modules are generaly loaded   
   at start.   
      
   Well, it's the same idea as the "5s" delay with the CPX CT60 but it only   
   slows one program when this one loads one file, and not the whole system.   
      
   I'll add this tonight on my page.   
      
   Guillaume.
