Bootable Ada/Gnat context for PC's

[sk <sknipe@ktc.com>]

Hi,

Some of you will be familiar with, or the existence 
of, the "EduOS" project by Frank Cornelis.

I have translated "EduOS v0.1.13" into Ada and,
along with the Gnat 3.13p toolset, produced the
"EduOs-Ada" project.

In summary, all "C" source has been replaced by 
"C-in-Ada" leaving the bootstraps and initialization
in assembly. The result is a functional equivalent
of Frank Cornelis' work, not necessarily correct,
not bug free and not a good demonstration of Ada
coding.

In fact the code is terrible. I have made no effort 
to use Ada techniques and have blindly copied the "C" 
source into Ada. The result is not pretty and not 
a demonstration of good coding practice in general,
never mind Ada.

However, a completly bootable Ada context is 
available (I deliberately do not use the term "OS").

This release is premature but I have to move onto 
other things. So I am releasing to prevent the 
project from disappearing into the black-hole of 
archives and backups.

The project is available for download through my 
homepage
