Dear Martin & Chris,

it is quite unclear, what our russian friends have achieved,
at least I didn't get very clear feedback from there although
there are some people trying there something ...

The steps for a successfull port are:

0. Creating interface modules to the standard (and necessary
   advanced) libraries. This can be eased by using Stewart
   Greenhill's H2O, which is implented without real documentation
   for OO2C and optionally creates CP interface modules from
   C-Header files (beware macros), but Stewart helps and answers
   questions quickly if there is interest. He polished and added
   my CP stuff to the CVS tree off OO2C without any discussion ...

1. Generating ELF executables (currently the ELF linker on
   Andrew Thomas pages generates only shared objects)

2. Implementing a kernel (that has been done already by OMiSys)
   some time ago (around 2001/2002).

3. Implementing all HostXYZ modules (as far as I know, most of
   them are also already implemented by OMiSys except some
   advanced stuff in HostCFrames).

That's it ... hmm, doing it from the scratch is not that easy.

Maybe we should set up a source-forge projects for doing that
jointly (although I don't have much time to spare), if OMiSys
agrees to put up the sources of what was achieved by them in
2001/2002 (I've got it under NDA at that time already, but
could not find time to persue it).

Maybe also Fyodor Tchakov can tell us more about the current
state of the russion linux activities ...

regards
