The Mattise Operating System News

Mattise is no longer being compiled with DJGPP, but now with a Cygwin-based GCC cross-compiler targeting ELF format.

Changes to the code include the removal of all leading underscores from assembly code, and the addition of a number of compiler support functions.

One of the biggest reasons is the support for C++ template classes in G++. The new version, 4.2.0 works exceptionally well with the CLinkedList class I have written for use not only in Mattise but also within other, external, programs. The old version could not link the templates.
