Impressive! I didn't know that this was possible using pascal. Although its not really necessary, since we allready have linux, its great to play with :-D

I fear that I won't have any time for it though.

Its true we have linux - but lets say you needed to calculate some numbers of pi as fast as you could with zero overhead (or only a few bytes of it ).

As a concept though, I think this demonstrates the true power of pascal - I've heard all too many critiques of it saying its too high level, no direct memory management and how limiting managed pointers can be. This, though, is the transformation of 'theoretically' to a much more practical approach to saying: it may be high level, but give it a line or two of ASM, tell the compiler to scrap the beautification and off you go: baremetal programming

It is a shame the OSDev site only goes as far as basic VGA - if we had opengl drivers/code available I would have been able to compile prometheus and that could have been a sight to behold. Although I have not given up on the idea of finding some ATI docs on the matter and looking if there is any common ground between the driver .so files procedure wise. Because if that is the case it may be possible to scrap together a quick and dirty solution to the OpenGL solution. Still looking into this a bit at a time as it were.

Man, I was looking for something like this for decades. Actually. Thank you for make it public!

Nuno: No problem at all... I was actually getting worried by the silence of the comments box I'd posted one of the few topics no one needed/was interested in

At least now its helped at least one person I am more or less satisfied...

You know: Tanenbaum's book is so complex... I know your HeliOS isn't a full kernel but it helps to understand and testing ideas and so.
