ShagBoot v0.83.0 (October 1996)

    bugs:

    things to do:
	-	Handle small/partial sectors
	-	Handle linear mappings

SOLO v0.95.2 (September 13, 1996)

    bugs:
	-	doesn't report correct error when out of fd's
	-	no overflow checking on input buffer
	-	'reboot cold' doesn't work except after pmode

    things to do:
	o	Real environment vars (repack env buffer when needed)
	o	Move device table lookup to 'devopen'
	o	Have fixed device numbers and look them up, rather
		then using them as table indices
	-	Create /dev/msg for reading/writing kernel messages
	-	Handle small/partial sectors
	o	Create real serial device
	o	Allow for real I/O redirection, rather than just 
		built-in serial-port redirection
	o	Add real getenv/setenv support
	o	Add getenv/putenv to interface
	-	Make low 32K (SOLO/BIOS memory) readonly (except for buffer)
	-	Add 'color attr' command to set fg/bg
	-	Add 'move y x' command to position cursor
	-	Make 'vtest/vmode' external programs
	-	Make 'lboot' external
	-	Make 'help' external
	-	Make 'file' external

    things to test:

    things done:

    ideas:
	-	Make 'lboot' actually scan the setup code
		for the 'mov ax,#0x5019' code and change
		it to the correct current screen size. (binary fix)
	-	Provide Linux patch for correcting screen size
		in setup.S (where it really belongs)

	
When running protected-mode 32-bit applications from SOLO:

    bugs:

    things to do:
	-	Make interface position independent and remap
		to a higher address... including automatic 
		remapping when calling interface functions
	o	Breakpoint setting
	o	Ability to resume program after trap/IRQ/NMI/bkpt
	o	Single-stepping 
	-	Some sort of 'adb'-like debugger

mksolo v0.24.0 (November 1996)

    bugs:

    things to do:
	-	Handle linear mappings
	-	Handle small/partial sectors

    ideas:
	-	Make separate program for obtaining mapping of a file,
		and have mksolo call that to build the map, to support
		new custom file systems

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fdisk

    bugs:
	o	

    things to do:
	o	All actual partition allocation
	o	Find out if format is really 8 bits for head, or if	
		top 2 head bits are supposed to be used for cylinder
		bits 10-11 (like elsewhere)
	-	Find some way to fix CHS/linear discrepency for
		cylinders > 1024
	
    ideas:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makefile

    bugs:
	o	Every 'make config' adds extra entries to the 'Extensions'
		variable, which wastes lots of config time
		- need some way to filter out unique names, like
		  some sort of 'add unique'
		- maybe have 'AllExtensions' which is
		  'InheritedExtensions + Extensions'
		- perhaps this idea needs to be extended to other vars as well
    things to do:
