Description:
A 386 operating system kernel.  Includes code to manage the 386 chip
paging in protected mode; multiprocessing via time slice, custom disk
and video and keyboard drivers written in 386 assembly.  Uses a file
system other than MSDOS's, only supports floppy disks at this time.
Multiprocess communication is intended to be done using shared memory,
however the system supports passing messages about.  Generic boot code
allows switching the processor in and out of 32-bit mode, so bios or
dos calls can be made.  Interrupts are handled appropriately.  It runs 
from the dos prompt.  This version requires a special linker to build
the demos; source and executable are provided for the linker.
