Re: [MiNT] MetaDOS developer documentation

[Standa Opichal <opichals@seznam.cz>]

Hi!

I've been searching this too for some time. Noone seems to have it except 
Julian Reschke on his rumorously dead TT HDD and he won't give it public 
anyway as he stated it is copyrighted. Since some time I don't care. The 
only future is FreeMiNT (especially when we got the information that there 
won't be any MagiC update for Atari) and if someone need the MetaDOS 
functionality then he should only use the BetaDOS (recently updated to 
version 3.12).

This, of course, still means that there is not documentation for it. 
Well, the binary is quite small so you can dissassemble it if you want 
(just as we did in ARAnyM team to find out the bug in Pexec() - fixed in 
BetaDOS v3.12).

For .DOS driver sources you can get the cookfs.dos from Julian's homepage 
or the hostfs.dos driver sources from the aranym CVS. I don't have any 
.BOS driver sources however.

Maybe we can ask the BetaDOS author to write some documentation for that, 
but again what would be the purpose for dying utility?

regards

STan
