Forward – 2000
F
irst of all, I thank all of you for the continued interest in MMURTL. When the first printed copies of this book (thennamed
Developing Your Own 32 Bit Computer Operating System
) hit the bookstands in 1995,
32 bit
was the “buzz word”of the day. Five years later the buzzword is the New Millennium; 2000+. But it still seems that operating systemdevelopment is a hot topic - look at Linux go! - You GO Mr. Penguin, you go!Many people have tracked me down in an attempt to find more copies of the original edition of the book and I can tell youthey’re very scarce. Another printing was denied by the original publisher which turned the rights to this book back over tome. Of the 10,000-plus copies sold, I have 5 printed copies left (which needless to say, I'm holding on to for sentimentalreasons). But if you're reading this, you now know that the book is back in full print (and electronically) available onceagain.I had initially intended to put up a web site for everyone to share their MMURTL interests and findings, but little thingslike "earning a living" - "kids in college, etc." kept getting in the way. A friend of mine (an entrepreneur at heart) wasitching to start another online business (e.g., Dot Com Mania) and I had always been interested in publishing - the
not so simple
art of information dissemination - and I offered some technical assistance. Now I am part of Sensory Publishing,Inc., the new publisher of this book.Sensory Publishing has built and runs a bulletin board on their servers where MMURTL readers/users can exchangeinformation and ask questions. I will try to make as much time as possible to answer questions there, and I would also liketo see everyone that has something to share about MMURTL add their two cents.I hope you use MMURTL V1.0 to learn, enjoy and explore. And now, my gift to you, the owners of a proper copy of this book or the former version from SAMS):
You may use any of the code (with the exception of the C compiler orsamples from Mr. Dunfield) for any project you desire - public or private - so long as you have purchased a propercopy of the book in this or its previous printings.
That is my way of saying thanks.
The only requirement is that you givesome visible credit to MMURTL for the assistance with your project. No, this is not the same as “public domain,” but itallows you to use MMURTL in your projects without fear of a lawsuit from me, or the publisher. The only thing you can’tdo is place MMURTL or the MMURTL source code on a web site or other electronic retrieval system where the public canget to it (protect it as you would any copyrighted material).
