documentation patch
by Brian Sammon
Last month when I started experimenting with openbios, I found the
documentation to be misleading about which files to call from grub.
Here's a patch to the README which I hope clarifies the matter:

trouble with cygwin
by Mark Wenning
cygwin ( http://cygwin.com ) is a linux shell /emulator that runs under
Windows. It uses standard gcc and ld ,
We thought this would be the easiest way to get our developers going
with OpenBIOS as a development simulator...
Is anyone out there running OpenBIOS as an application under Windows (XP
or 2000)?

trouble with cygwin
by Mark Wenning
Hi guys, I'm trying to build OpenBIOS under Cygwin . I get the
following errors when I build it:
wenning@SHARPSTICK:~/src/openbios/openbios$ make
+ Entering libc
+ Entering kernel
+ Entering toke
+ Entering forth
+ Entering modules
+ Entering drivers
+ Entering fs
+ Entering grubfs
+ Entering arch/x86
BUILDING plain.image
ld: PE operations on non PE file.
make[1]: *** [plain.image] Error 1
make: *** [sub-arch/x86-all] Error 2
any ideas?

bug in toke?
by Mark Wenning
Hi -
We're looking at using toke, detok in our development process.
Our current setup to tokenize device drivers uses a "script" similar to
this:
----- start kng_sr_script -----
\ define these words for the tokenizer
tokenizer[
0 constant ?SYSTEM-ROM
0 constant COMMENT-OUT
0 constant ?DEBUG-TX
0 constant ?DEBUG-RX
h# 0110 constant ibm-Code-Revision-Level
h# 17D5 constant ibm-VendorId
h# 5831 constant ibm-king-DeviceId
h# 020000 constant ClsCode
]tokenizer
fload kng_main.of
----- end kng_sr_script -----
Then in kng_main.of, we do:
----- start kng_main.of -----
....
tokenizer[ hex ibm-Code-Revision-Level decimal ]tokenizer SET-REV-LEVEL
tokenizer[ hex ibm-VendorId ibm-king-DeviceId ClsCode decimal
]tokenizer PCI-HEADER
FCODE-VERSION2
...
----- start of code...-----
The version of toke I downloaded doesn't like this for 2 reasons:
1. Constant declarations in TOKENIZER[ ... ]TOKENIZER blocks emit
bytes/tokens to the output,
so we get extra stuff before the PCI header. I don't think it should
do this; code inside tokenizer blocks
should not be in the output FCODE. Is this correct?
2. Previous constant declarations aren't being looked up/interpreted
when in Tokenizer mode. For
example,
tokenizer[ hex ibm-Code-Revision-Level decimal ]tokenizer SET-REV-LEVEL
causes a "empty stack: error. I have to change it to
tokenizer[ 0110 ]tokenizer SET-REV-LEVEL
to make it work. Is this a bug?
I'm a little new to this; basically what I'm asking is if this behaviour
is what was intended, or should we attempt to fix it and submit a fix to
you.
