I was considering trying to port the FPC compiler so that it would operate on the Atheos Operating system (http://www.atheos.cx), a new GPL'd OS for the Intel 386 series which was essentially written by one person and includes a non-X-windows GUI which is an integral part of the kernel. I like the concept and it looks quite nice but it needs about a thousand things before it even reaches the level of Linux.

As I haven't had the opportunity to read this list very much I'm not sure if anyone else is involved in such a thing, however the possibility of that is extremely low, however I figure I should check as I might learn something if someone else is working on something similar.

If someone else is doing anything like this or has any extra hints or tips for porting an application like FPC, please either post a message here or write me directly. If I get good responses I'll post a summary.

Thank you,
