This file is take from OpenBeOS project with NewOS kernel but I don´t know if this document is compatible with BeOS 5 PE.

Of course. It is like two stage rockets...

Does BeOS have a syscall for mprotect? This is one of the few syscalls my programs rely on heavily and I haven't found any decent documentation on the BeOS syscalls yet.

I have never come across it. I got all my info by writting short C code and tracing the appropriate calls (malloc, write, read, etc) until I hit an interrupt and then inspected the stack. You might just want to try the same to get a definate answer. I just destroyed my BeOS partition because I'm waiting for a new release. When I get that I can get back to my syscall based port if noone else has done it by then.

Isn't there source for BeOS kernel, or at least the libc? Would probably be a lot faster to look through that, than tracing or disassembling examples?

It's not open source if that's what you mean. There is OpenBeOS, but I don't know how compatible that with actual BeOS/Zeta. It's not that hard to trace through though. The kernel contains symbols and bdb is quite a decent debugger. It also drops assembly files for every function you trace, so you have a nice reference later.

Are we going to need BeOS subforum soon?

Yes, it is the 5-th (or maybe 6-th) OS where FlatAssembler rules.

Dos, Win32, Linux, MenuetOS, FreeBSD, BeOS...

IMHO, the next port should be SolOS.

Privalov. Can you publish Fasm on http://www.BeBits.com ?
It´s major software resources site for BeOS.

Would anyone here be interested in maintaining the BeOS port of fasm (and also moderating the BeOS subforum if it's created one day)? I'm not familiar with this system yet.

Yes, I am but I don't use internet at home, then I hope forum could be bad moderated by me.

I'm willing to maintain the BeOS port and mod the BeOS subforum as well.

OK! It's wonderfull then CRC &
thanks to Privalov developing fasm for libc port
