We all know that todays javascript engines are very powerful... but what I've found today just made me stare at the screen, not believing my eyes Smile

Fabrice Bellard has written an x86 emulator in javascript, capable of booting and running a linux kernel: http://bellard.org/jslinux/. So if you want to run U++ CLI applications in web browser, all you need is to compile it for Pentium MMX processor, put it in an initrd image and put it together with two JS files on your web Smile

At least in theory, I haven't tried it (yet) Very Happy

This really made my day, I just had to share this...

Best regards,
Honza
