    Here's a basic feature that MartyPC has been missing for a while: Memory editing!

    That's right, you haven't been able to edit memory in MartyPC up until now.

    Anyway, about time that was rectified. To edit a memory location, just double-click on a hex cell to enter edit mode. You will move from byte to byte as you enter values, and you can skip bytes with tab.

    Did I mention you can do this all while the system is running?

    Showing the new memory editing feature in MartyPC. Here we have altered the attribute bytes for the C:> prompt , and typed the word "HELLO" directly into video memory.

        The Wikipedia entry for 386BSD mentions volume 2 of the Jolitzes "Source Code Secrets" book series:

        Jolitz, William F. and Jolitz, Lynne Greer: Operating System Source Code Secrets Vol 2 Virtual Memory, 2000, ISBN 1-57398-027-7

        Does anyone know if this book was ever published? I have volume 1 here, but never saw an announcement of the second volume...

              Like to read about hunts for pre-historic bugs? I've just posted my notes on how I found a 35+ year old bug in DOS 3.3's SYS.COM.
