Hi,

I have been using SymbianOS Unit for quite a while by now, but one thing kept bothering me until now:

Why I have to wait so long for S60 emulator to boot up all its stuff, whereas I just want to test some silly iterator.

The solution was to extend SymbianOS Unit with textshell support. That is you you can launch it like this:

symbianosunit.exe -dtextshell --

and then in less than one second you have it up and running.

I think I need to share my experience with you. I attached ZIP-archive with files I modified/added. Please have a look.

This is like 0.0.0.0.0001 version and it is very raw. It is based on SymbianOS Unit 1.04. Currently, targets only emulator (debugged on UIQ 2.1)

TODOs:
- add registration resource file to simplify launching on target
- add pkg to make sis
- improve console UI (scroll list of test suites if they dont fit the screen, animate test suite name scrolling when it is selected and does not fit the screen)
- make thorough testing
