After some ‘fun’ debugging, I got the createVar entry point into working condition- it correctly creates new vars, relocates old ones (discounting allocated ones), and fixes VAT entries.
Next up? allocVar, which should be pretty easy.
I finished restructuring the repository today, and switched it over to subversion, which I’ve discovered kicks the pants off CVS.
The vital system routines (initialization, syscalls, etc) are now in the kernel subdirectory. Everything there is the OS stuff that goes on page 0 and 1C/1D. The MUI subdirectory is the contents of pages 1-3- the Master UI. Stuff like math libraries, and general functionality (like an RPN math application) will live here. Finally there’s the 3pOSLoad branch, which is currently a WIP loader for unsigned OSes.

I’m busy restructuring the repository, albeit rather slowly. I’m improving the layout, and changing the build process. Rather than a two-step build with TASM, I’ll be using a one-step assemble with Brass. (Thanks, Ben!)
Additionally, I’ll be changing the repository over to SVN, rather than the nicely dated CVS, eh?
I am proud to announce I have gotten the new LIFOS content management system up and running. This CMS will be a hub for LIFOS news, links, FAQ’s, and howto’s.
