Hmmm... the last release was in October...2002...any clues as to why
development would have stopped? I'm fearing MS legal campaign...or it just
didn't work?

Anyhow, it seems like a great place to start from.

Best regards,

I came across this little gem on Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winntposix/

GPL'd, too -- it'd make for a huge head start for our Posix subsystem!

It implements it sort of like how win32k.sys works for win32 -- a kernel
driver (psxsys) adds a system service table and does work not easy from user
mode (e.g. signals) in kmode.
