Here's a short list of bits that are required. If you want to do one of
these it's probably best to post to the list <linux-8086@vger.rutgers.edu>.
Add more to this todo list!
TODO for libc-8086:
Item Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Header Files - This will take some time, also some files should
be kernel.
Floating Point - Bruce is on this (Yes that one) Initially it'll
assume an FPU is available. "int" version soon
after.
dirent &co - Directory listing - Partial.
hsearch &co -
tsearch &co -
locale processing - multi national, unicode (string stuff has a couple
of stubs)
login - getpass and friends - Some, rest soon.
rpc -
syslog &co - make stubs to splatter to console.
time calcs - mktime gmtime localtime etc, Nat
timezone - Probably V simplistic, List of UTC's
offsets & STDvDST
i386 support - For both GCC and BCC-386.
Stdio - Joel is on this. (stdio1) (RDB stdio2)
getgrent &co - Nat -Done
getpwent &co - Nat -Done
utmp/wtmp - Nat -Done
setjmp - Done, Rob
shadow password - Do we need ? Do we want :-) [No! Ick! ;) -Nat]
termcap - and curses; what does ncurses need ? (150kb!!)
crypt - TEA version, first cut.
signal stuff - Got a basic 'signal' appears to work correctly.
getenv/setenv - Done
bsearch - Grabbed (Public Domain)
lsearch - Grabbed (Public Domain)
random numbers - Got ZX81 version (better than some) (And 2nd now)
Build environment - Good first cut is now available.

Project Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optimiser for BCC - A lot of work, but lucrative.
(assembler level one started, by?)
Tiny vi editor - Use 'ae' ?
Shells: Bourne, Csh,
menu, silly - ash now compiles, Rob.
Tiny Perl - :-) :-) You first ;)
User commands - Everything in /bin /usr/bin - will existing PD/GPL
compile in 16 bit ? Or do smaller ones exist,
need to be written ?
