Running BeOS Apps in OpenBeOS. Jan 13, 2003 12:40 UTC, by Daniel, Senior Journalist From the run my app department... I was checking my mail and i spotted this on the Kernel Mailing List. Axel "Basement Hermit" Dorfler has commited that fully implement the BeOS Image API. What does this mean? It means that it is now possible to run BeOS apps in OpenBeOS, as he did. Very simple ones still, but it is possible. This is a very important development in OpenBeOS, it will now allow them to test the binary compatibility between BeOS and OpenBeOS, a goal the OBOS team has always aimed for. Very good news and one step closer to recreating BeOS. UPDATE: This has just been posted by Axel himself on the OpenBeOS site.
