KerNO Released
Posted by Eric on 4 November 2001, 04:57 GMT

Believe it or not, stuff is getting released nowadays, even with our archives down. Greg Dietsche has released KerNO, a kernel for the TI-89 designed expressly for nostub programs. It's an extremely small kernel that provides many of the features included in other shells such as DoorsOS. Check out his webpage for more information.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of nostub programs?

yea, exactly. nostub games are for people who dont use kernels, and are made to NOT use kernals. I dont see why you would ever need this, just uses time and space.

You need to make sure that you know what you are talking about before posting.

I find it rather funny...A kernel for no-kernel programs!

Actually, i prefer to call it a kerno... emphasis on the no.

Or, does it enhance the 'purpose' of nostub programs?
It is not required that Kerno be installed for a nostub program to be run on a calculator, and there are no patches or anything that needs to be done to the programs to make them work with kerno. Kerno simply makes the calculator more stable and user friendly.

p.s. What is the purpose of nostub programs? I always thought that they have no stub where as DoorsOS programs do...

They can be run without a DoorsOS-style kernel. In other words, you can put one on a completely empty calculator and it'll run perfectly.

Or at least as perfectly as it was programmed...

I guess I shouldn't have used the word purpose... I should have said The fundamental difference between nostub and doors os programs is the "stub" or the lack of a "stub"
technically, doors os programs could be more accurately called stub programs.

Kerno is simply anti-crash protection and some other stuff. It does no fancy library relocation that other kernels do

The feature that allows returned expressions from asm programs is especially usefull. Several nostub programs return values but you need a shell for them to be of much use. Good job (and once i fanally liberate myself from kernal progs, I'll certanly use it. (I wish PCT was nostub...)

There is also a program called IPR by Cyril Pascal (Paxal) which does just that at http://sirryl.multimania.com .

BELIEVE ME... my first C program could have been called a virus, because it has unterminated strings... infinate loops, and other VERY bad errors. Now I program better. (Still can't do anything significant, just a little grey scale and some minor gaming.)

"Believe it or not, stuff is getting released nowadays, even with our archives down."

WHAT? Something was ACTUALLY RELEASED? WITHOUT TICALC? But, but, but, but HOW? Granted this is not only a great TI Calculator site, it is *THE* TI Calculator site. But believe it or not, I can easily imagine people still writing code even when the archives are down. :) I had to say something, I thought it was funny.
