Maybe I could take a look at it? I was the first to use a library
basically,
with Scrolls. Also, I was the first to post relocator code, in fact
someone
used the source code and made a utility to automatically make ZShell
executables relocatable.
ZShell 5.0 will be downward compatible right?

I will do that. Version 2.0 is a lot faster since the z80 cpu is in
asm. In
fact, I also have a copy of the source code. The unfortunate thing
about the
source code is that it mostly lacks internal documentation. I think I
may add
mouse support. Since the keyboard handler is overly complex and
undocumented,
I think I will make my mouse component use keyboard scan codes and call
the
same function that the keyboard uses. It also needs the ability to load
.85
files directly from disk. This could be done by modifying the DoIn and
DoOut
functions.
Do you want a copy of the source code? I guess the source code is not
suppose
to be publicly released.
