Hello.

Sort of, as announce on the X-Windows for DOS list. It implemented SysV
and POSIX interfaces, but only within a process, which would be OK if a
process = a thread. I don't think it would be that useful for normal
DJGPP. The POSIX interface used a FSEXT to do all its magic stuff on top
of a dynamically resizing RAM disk FSEXT written by Christopher Nelson
(*). The shared memory part was pretty untested.

(*) This could be useful for DJGPP programs.

If anyone's interested, I'll mail them the ZIP file.

Bye,
