This week I worked on WarpLink some and a bit on the lDOS kernel. The lDOS changes are to make use of a new feature, the WLCALC post-link calculation.
Today I used the current WarpLink revision, "release 4 by ecm (2025 September)", trying to peruse some details in preparation for a new feature. Cue my surprise when it failed to link even the simplest examples!

The idea of these changes is to take an existing trace listing (.tls) file of the lDOS kernel and find corresponding offsets within the MS-DOS v7.10 kernel. As they're both based on the same code base, I expect that there will be some similarities remaining.
This article lists some topics I think any education on program logic work should cover. I collected these notes over several months, though I have thought about many of these for years at this point.

This week a little work happened. The MCP and CLU also got alternative backronyms to describe what they do: Multiple Command Payload and Comspec Load Utility.
