Yes, I noticed that LINE was a dead project after you
mentioned that you were trying to recompile it. I was
hoping you would have success, since it sounded like
a worthwhile project.

Either way, by trying to get LINE working, you should
now have a better idea what it would take to create a
system that emulates int 0x80 syscalls.

This is more efficient anyway, since the int 0x80 traps
would probably be making the same calls anyway.

I don't do much X86 disassembling (most of my assembly
coding is in ARM or DSP), but I would start with ndisasm
(the nasm disassembler).
