History
Bryce Denney 346e2747d3 - fixed up ParamDialog to correctly handle "trees" of parameters. A 
bx_list_c can now be displayed as either a wxStaticBox with the
  child parameters inside, or as a wxNotebook with each child
  parameter in a separate tab.  (The children can also be lists of
  course.)  The default display is the wxStaticBox type, but if you
  set the option bit bx_list_c::USE_TAB_WINDOW in the list,
  ParamDialog will use the wxNotebook display instead.
- to get the param trees working, I created a new struct
  AddParamContext, which is passed to AddParam().  This struct is
  critical when AddParam calls itself recursively to display lists
  within lists.
- use the wxNotebook display feature for the ATA0,1,2,3 controller
  dialog box.  Now instead of being hundreds of pixels tall, it is
  reasonable height with three different tabs.  This fixed bug
  #619074: "wx: ATA interface editor too tall" and was the whole
  reason I started messing with this at all.

plus some minor cleanups
- when I added the enum constant bx_list_c::USE_TAB_WINDOW, I also
  removed the BX_ prefix from all the other enum constants that are
  used in parameter options in siminterface.cc.  Since these constants
  are enums within a class, there is no possibility of namespace
  conflicts so the prefix is not needed.
- added wxADJUST_MINSIZE to all wxChoice controls, since that tells
  wxWindows to adjust its size to the length of the longest string.
- instead of calling SetSize or SetSizeHints on every textcontrol with
  a hardcoded width, I am using just two wxSize specifications for
  everything: either normalTextSize or longTextSize.
- edit names of a few menus and params.  For example now instead of
  the tab saying "Master ATA device on channel 0" it will say
  "First HD/CD on channel 0".

Bochs x86 Pentium Emulator
Updated: Wed Mar 27 20:02:41  2002
Version: 1.4

WHAT IS BOCHS?

Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms.  It includes
emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom
BIOS.  Currently, bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or
Pentium CPU.  Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems
inside the emulation including Linux, Windows 95, DOS, and 
Windows NT 4.  Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently 
maintained by the Bochs project at "http://bochs.sourceforge.net".

Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are
still in development.  The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide
complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware
devices, and memory.  This allows you to run OS's and software within
the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine
inside of a machine.  Bochs will allow you to run Win '95
applications on a Solaris machine with X11, for example.

Bochs is distributed under the GNU LGPL.  See COPYING for details.

GETTING CURRENT SOURCE CODE 

Source code for Bochs is available from the Bochs home page at
http://bochs.sourceforge.net.  You can download the most recent
release, use CVS to get the latest sources, or grab a CVS
snapshot which is updated nightly.  The releases contain the most
stable code, but if you want the very newest features try the
CVS version instead. 

WHERE ARE THE DOCS?

The Bochs documentation has been overhauled, and it is now
distributed in a separate package called bochsdoc-VERSION.tar.gz.
A copy is also online at 
  http://bochs.sf.net/doc/docbook/alldocs.html
For now, the old documentation can still be found at
  http://bochs.sf.net/docs-html

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?  HOW DO I REPORT PROBLEMS?

Both the documentation and the Bochs website have instructions on how 
to join the bochs-developers mailing list, which is the primary
forum for discussion of Bochs.  The main page of the website also
has links to bug reports and feature requests.  You can browse and
add to the content in these areas even if you do not have a (free)
SourceForge account.  We need your feedback so that we know what
parts of Bochs to improve.  

There is a patches section on the web site too, if you have made
some changes to Bochs that you want to share.

HOW CAN I HELP?

If you would like contribute to the Bochs project, a good first step
is to join the bochs-developers mailing list, and read the archive
of recent messages to see what's going on.  

If you are a technical person (can follow hardware specs, can write
C/C++) take a look at the list of open bug reports and feature
requests to see if you are interested in working on any of the
problems that are mentioned in them.  If you check out the CVS
sources, make some changes, and create a patch, one of the
developers will be very happy to apply it for you.  Developers who
frequently submit patches, or who embark on major changes in the
source can get write access to CVS.  Be sure to communicate with the
bochs-developers list to avoid several people working on the same
thing without realizing it.

If you are a Bochs user, not a hardware/C++ guru, there are still
many ways you could help out.  For example:
  - improving win32 binary releases
  - building up a set of useful tools to include in those releases
  - writing/cleaning up documentation
  - testing out Bochs on every imaginable operating system and 
    reporting how it goes.
