A free Windows-compatible Operating System - mirrored from GitHub

- Fix some function parameter types, so to avoid unuseful casts (from pointers to const strings to pointers to strings in particular). - The big thing: make FreeLdr load personalized Kernel Debugger Transport DLLs by reading at the kernel command line and interpreting the /DEBUGPORT=xxx entry (--> loads KDxxx.DLL dll in \SystemRoot\System32\). So now, we can not only load the "default" kdcom.dll, but also 3rd-party ones such as kdbazis.dll from VirtualKD. Read http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=173 for a trick I used : "[...] Another enhancement that could be done Microsoft-side would be a better interface for replacing KD transport modules. Right now, due to the fact that ntoskrnl is static linked to KDCOM.DLL, the OS loader has a hardcoded hack that interprets the KD type in the OS loader options, loads one of the (hardcoded filenames) "kdcom.dll", "kd1394.dll", or "kdusb2.dll" modules, and inserts them into the loaded module list under the name "kdcom.dll".

======================== ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated Dec 16, 2006 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers. The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003 drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility focus is Windows XP. More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/. 2. Building ReactOS See the INSTALL file for more details. 3. More information See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes. 4. Who is responsible See the CREDITS file.
