Re: VSTa mailing list

>1) Did you see/find the mount bug I mentioned?

Nope... sorry. :-( I'm playing with some RCS version management stuff
so I can use symbolic names. I also have some of the buffering code for
my contiguous filesystem. I'll have a look-see tonight, perhaps.

Yes, although I didn't provide the full set of before, after, overlay.
You can get overlay by just umount()'ing first. I think my mount() provides
only before semantics.

uwm. :-)

Real-time won't soften the blow of having the CPU stolen from you; it merely
provides some guarantees concerning when it will be stolen. If bitblt takes
a LOT of cpu, you probably don't want it to be real-time. Or do I mis-
understand the question?
