First, not using Super/Supexec applies to FreeMiNT as the other, older OS don't support adequate replacements like Ssystem(). MiNTLib internally don't do any Super/Supexec if running under FreeMiNT. For non-FreeMiNT system MiNTLib go as fallback the old way to determine Cookie values for example. > Other question: Is it possible to have a notification from Mint for the AES > that an application crash or stop? Except looking in U:/PROC/*.id some time. Sure, as kernel module you have complete process state information and as kernel modul you can also use privileged CPU instructions.
