Short: Minimal MuLib archive for redistribution Author: thomas.richter@alumni.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thomas richter alumni tu-berlin de (Thomas Richter) Type: util/libs Version: 47.6 Requires: a 68020/68851, 68030, 68040 or 68060 with a working MMU Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This archive is mainly considered for "re-distribution" within third-party products. In case your software requires the mmu.library, please include this archive unmodified and verbatim somewhere in your software package and include the installation nodes in your documentation. The mmu.library is freeware under my licence conditions stated below, hence if your software is "shareware" or "commercial", feel prepared that I'd like to ask you for one free licence of your software. It took over one year to write this software, to debug it, to write the tools, the documentation, to test it, I even spend some money for additional hardware to develop it. Hence, a lot of work went into this project. It would be nice if I would get some feedback from you. In case you need more documentation, insight, example sources, debugging tools,... please download the full MuLib archive from Aminet: util/libs/MMULib.lha Library to ctrl the MC68K MMUs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose and goal of this library: The mmu.library is a basis for MMU (memory management) related functions the MC68K family can perform. Up to now certain hacks are available that program the MMU themselves (Enforcer,CyberGuard,GuardianAngle,SetCPU,Shapeshifter, VMM,GigaMem...). It's therefore not unexpected that these tools conflict with each other. There's up to now no Os support for the MMU at all - the gap this mmu.library fills. The goal is to provide a basis of functions to address and program the MMU in a hardware independent, Os friendly fashion. Hence, the new version of the Enforcer, called MuForce, will work together with virtual memory, and others. The mmu.library is also the basis for a virtual memory project, the memory.library. Even though the mmu.library does not provide virtual memory itself, it builds the basics to allow an easy implementation and to avoid the hacks required by other implementations so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The THOR-Software Licence (v3, January 2nd 2021) This License applies to the computer programs known as the "mmu.library" and its sources. The "Program", below, refers to such program. The "Archive" refers to the package of distribution, as prepared by the author of the Program, Thomas Richter. Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Distribution of the Program, the Archive and the data in the Archive by a commercial organization without written permission from the author to any third party is prohibited if any payment is made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in payment for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some service related to the Program, or payment for some product or service that includes a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples, and not an exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities). However, the following methods of distribution involving payment shall not in and of themselves be a violation of this restriction: (i) Distributing the Program on a physical data carrier (e.g. CD-ROM, DVD, USB-Stick, Disk...) provided that: a) the Archive is reproduced entirely and verbatim on such data carrier, including especially this licence agreement; b) the data carrier is made available to the public for a nominal fee only, i.e. for a fee that covers the costs of the data carrier, and shipment of the data carrier; c) a data carrier with the Program installed is made available to the author for free except for shipment costs, and d) provided further that all information on said data carrier is redistributable for non-commercial purposes without charge. Redistribution of a modified version of the Archive, the Program or the contents of the Archive is prohibited in any way, by any organization, regardless whether commercial or non-commercial. Everything must be kept together, in original and unmodified form. Limitations. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY.
