Re: A92: THE Doors OS bug
I have a question about Doors, and possibly related to the bug.
Doors kernel is loaded in a fixed location in memory, without
coordinating with the TIOS. There are a few bytes located (around
$38), that the loader needs, that is also not coordinated with the
TIOS.
Why can't the kernel be a library type function that is loaded, an
coordinated with the TIOS, just like any other program? The
'loader' could search for that file, using ROM calls. The loader
could just call that found location, rather than jumping to the fixed
location. That way the TIOS would know about the kernel and
maybe the memory problem would go away.
