Good job!!! Thanks! Especially the LOGO!!!
As for the rest of design, I'll think it over and menu highlighting is a bit buggy in Mozilla...
I think it's early to publish any sophisticated WWW site now, because
nothing user-interesting is implemented yet. But the logo is very
good, i'll try to experiment on it, if you don't mind. (all copyright
I'll address to you, of course ;) And it's a good useable sketch now I
see it clear.

Do you experience any problems with the stormdos-develop mailing-list?

I've commited some more changes to device engine through the CVS. Try to
use anonymous CVS access and download the module sd32_fpc . Pay
attention to modules.txt in doc subdir and kcontext.pas.
Please, send any feedback on whether you've succeeded in downloading
through CVS and whether you looked thorough kcontext.pas unit's interface
part.

And, I think it'll be more consistent to commit all changes to the CVS
through me.

Think over PE image-manipulation unit - no FILE I/O but
manipulation via CALLBACK functions for FILE I/O
i.e.

const

// file operation number
     PE_FO_OPEN=1;
     PE_FO_CLOSE=2;
     PE_FO_READ=3;
     ...

type

    TFOREADPARAMS=record
    dest_ptr:pointer;
    bytes_to_read:DWORD;
    end;

    TFILEIOPROC=function(opcode:DWORD;params:pointer):INT;

    PPEIMAGE=^TPEIMAGE;
    TPEIMAGE=record
               imagep:pointer;
               fileproc:TFILEIOPROC;
               ...
             end;

    function initimage(fileproc:TFILEIOPROC;peimg:PPEIMAGE):INT;
    function loadheaders_and_sections_info(peimg:PPEIMAGE):INT;
    function map_at(peimg:PPEIMAGE;base_addr:DWORD):INT; // provides
    FIXING-UP, relocation etc.
    ...
    


Be aware that NO CLASS/OBJECTS, no standard memory
allocation/deallocation functions are available!!!
