It looks like we’re about to start a new embedded project for a customer. They have a system running on a DOS-extender and DOS-based realtime kernel. I’m going to try to talk them into replacing it with one of the embedded Linux options that are becoming more popular. If they don’t go for that, I’ll need to brush up on ancient history – it’s been a while since I’ve done any DOS programming.

I also have more Perl coding coming up. I’ll be able to release this one under GPL. I’m going to be integrating Cybercash and iTransact support into a re-write of a Perl shopping cart/ecommerce package. It’s going to be a very small, minimal program compared to minivend and the other currently available shopping carts.
