Short:    IXemul 43.0 - 68000 trace library
Author:   various
Uploader: fnf@ninemoons.com
Type:     dev/gcc

This is ixemul.library release 43.0, a shared library that makes it possible
to compile and run most Unix programs under AmigaOS with almost no changes.
IXemul is part of the ADE (Amiga Developer's Environment), a community
effort to produce a complete development environment that is stable,
available in source, and completely self-hosting.  See the ADE readme file
at ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/ade/README for more details about ADE.

This release of IXemul integrates Jeff Shepherd's networking code.  If
ixnet.library (included) is installed then ixemul.library will use the
networking functions from the ixnet.library, instead of the default dummy
implementation.  Ixnet.library works with AS225 and with AmiTCP.  It
supports both clients and daemons.  A program that uses networking functions
is completely shielded from the AS225 and AmiTCP differences by
ixnet.library, which will take care of all the details for you. That means
that there is no longer any need to provide two different binaries, one for
AS225 and one for AmiTCP.  Furthermore, it is relatively easy to add support
for other network packages. Thanks Jeff!

This release also contains new stackchecking and stack extension code,
thanks to Matthias Fleischer, and support for the freshly completed port of
GDB (the GNU Debugger).  Thanks Hans!

The net ixemul library distribution consists of several archives:

  ixemul-bin.lha	Utils for gnu/bin, like ixtrace and ixconfig

  ixemul-sdk.lha	Files needed to build applications that use
			ixemul.library.

  ixemul-doc.lha	Various documentation, such as this file

  ixemul-src.lha	Complete source code for ixemul library

  ixemul-tz.lha		Pieces for doing TZ (timezone) management

  ixemul-CCCF.lha	Specific flavors of the library, where 'CCC'
			is one of 000, 020, 030, or 040, for 68000, 68020,
			68030, and 68040 respectively, and 'F' is either
			'f', 's', or 't' for FPU support or soft floating
			point or a "trace" version (also soft float)
			respectively.

For further information consult the NEWS, INSTALL, README and TODO files in
the documentation archive.
