slackware-current/source/d/dev86/README

This is a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit
code for the 386+ processors.  In the past it was used to compile the
16-bit bootsector and setup binaries for the kernel, but modern
(2.4.x or newer) kernels use GNU ld instead.

There's a package bin86 already included in Slackware, which is a
subset of the programs of dev86. Therefore the bin86 programs are
not included in this package.
Slackware 13.0 Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009 Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing things and offering suggestions during this development cycle. As always, have fun and enjoy! -P. 2009-08-26 17:00:38 +02:00			`This is a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit`
