I think the combination of needing a Turbo R, GFX9000 and Ascii MSX-C to develop something for Wios was a but too much to ask.
And I guess it's better to concentrate on multiprogramming than on multitasking on an MSX.

Multiprogramming: coding on more than one project, to make sure none will ever be finished. Most MSX programmers do it. It's great. I do it a lot.  |

There is a great difference between uzix -development and Wios -development
I stated that 8 years ago he started. So, people have had 8 years to show support.
Uzix is from a more recent date and is a complete program. Wios doesnot ,it needs separate programs to work with and makes it thus depended on more persons for support.
<<
uzix only a program? I think that uzix is a big colection of program, and need a lot of new program for could be a really usefull and extended OS for msx, and in the beginning of developping uzix nobody write code for it, when peeople saw that uzix was a great project and offered adventages for msx some people write something, but not a lot of it.
WIOS could had been on this way if the project had been continued, at least I think so.

Please, go to
www.cpmclub.de/zeitung/seite5.htm for example.
So... if Uzix is Uzi for MSX... You have a large collection of programs... already done. Like having a lot of developpers.  |

Interesting... Let me qoute from that page:
"UZI implements almost all of the 7th Edition functionality. All file I/O, directories, mountable file systems, user and group IDs, pipes, and applicable device I/O are supported. Process control (fork(), execve(), signal(), kill(), pause(), alarm(), and wait()) are fully supported. The number of processes is limited only by the swap space available. As mentioned above, UZI implements Unix well enough to run the Bourne shell in its full functionality. The only changes made to the shell's source code were to satisfy the limitations of the C compiler."
Now, from the UZIX page:
"UZIX implements almost all of the 7th Edition AT&T UNIX functionality. All file I/O, directories, mountable file systems, user and group IDs, pipes, and applicable device I/O are supported. Process control (fork(), execve(), signal(), kill(), pause(), alarm(), and wait()) are fully supported. The number of processes is limited only by the swap space available, with a maximum of 252 processes (total of 4096k memory). As mentioned, UZIX implements UNIX well enough to run the Bourne Shell in its full functionality. The only changes made to the shell's source code were to satisfy the limitations of the C compiler."
What a remarkable likeness!
Who can shed some light onto this? UZIX == UZI for msX? Are UZI applications binary compatible with UZIX? |

IIRC
UZIX = UZIX for MSX
UZI = UNIX for Zilog
hence
UZIX = UNIX for MSX  |
