[ros-kernel] RE: Where are you drawing the line?

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

You know I was thinking about this the other day. 

When it comes to most of the direct X componets I would look at wine. Think
about Glide and the Glide wrappers that we used to see in gaming. If you
look at the Mesa Project (OpenGL) and think about how gamers worked around
Glide I could see us wrapping Dplay around Mesa without to much trouble if
thats what the project wanted. Mesa does compile on 9x/NT so I dont think
this part would be to hard

Mabey even the same thing with IE. If we couldnt install and run Internet
Explorer for technical or legal problems mabey making wrappers or helper
DLLs to a modifyed version of Mozzila for Win32 much in the same way as
directx above.

Hey all,

I was wondering where you are drawing the line as far as rewriting
windows
components?  Are going to rewrite everything like IE, directX, and any
other
important addins that are not part of windows, or are you going to let
the
user install the originals?
