INTRODUCTION
============
Originally created in 1991 or 1992 by Markus Wild, the ixemul.library has
become the driving force behind the Geek Gadgets project.
Essentially it is a BSD Unix kernel running under the Amiga OS. The
code for handling Unix signals is taken almost verbatim from the BSD kernel
sources, for example. Multitasking and file I/O is, of course, passed on
to the Amiga OS. Because the library resembles BSD Unix so closely, it has
made it possible to port almost all Unix programs.
However, because of the conformance to BSD, the library is not too
conservative with resources or overly concerned with Amiga standards. For
example, command line expansion uses Unix semantics and doesn't use
ReadArgs(). The purpose of ixemul.library is to emulate Unix as well as is
technically possible. So given a choice between Amiga behavior or Unix
behavior, the last one is chosen.
