This software was done in part for a textbook on AI I ve written called _The Basis of AI_ (tentative title, subject to change but not if I get my way). For details see: http://www.mcs.com/~drt/basisofai.html
The flpydisk sample is a floppy driver that resides in the directory \\Ntddk\Src\Storage\Fdc\Flpydsk. It is similar to a class driver in that it sits a level above the floppy disk controller in the driver stack, and brokers communication between the application level and the low-level driver. The floppy driver takes commands from the application and then calls routines in the controller which will in turn perform the actual interaction with the device. The sample compiles in 64-bit, but has not been tested in this environment. It is compatible with x86 and Alpha platforms.
JILRuntime A general purpose, register based virtual machine (VM) that supports object-oriented features, reference counting (auto destruction of data as soon as it is no longer used, no garbage collection), exceptions (handled in C/C++ or virtual machine code) and other debugging features. Objects and functions can be written in virtual machine code, as well as in C or C++, or any other language that can interface to C object code. The VM is written for maximum performance and thus is probably not suitable for embedded systems where a small memory footprint is required. Possible uses of the VM are in game development, scientific research, or to provide a stand-alone, general purpose programming environment.
The JILRunOnly project is a simple command-line application written in ANSI-C that is intended to demonstrate in detail, how the JILRuntime/JewelScript library can be embedded into an application.
