bibo isn't brickOS
====================

Bibo is a brickOS clone; the kernel was written from scratch to give better
performance. From the side of the average brickOS programmer not much should
change. There is a lot of code borrowed from brickOS.
Bibo is an alternative Lego MindStorms RCX operating system and firmware that
is a brickOS clone. The kernel was written from scratch to give better
performance, but to the average brickOS programmer, not much should change.
There is a lot of code borrowed from brickOS, and numerous patches originally
targeted for brickOS have been conceptually incorporated. While this project
is based on bibo, as brickOS still seems to be the more recognizable name, it
has been retained as part of the name.

This repository is believed to be the most progressed version of either brickOS
or bibo.

This software will run on Linux and Windows (using the Cygwin tool suite.)
