As long as it doesn't rely on AmigaOS systems calls, why wouldn't it?
All Amiga/MorphOS specific software relys on AmigaOS system calls Jim.
Actually, that is not true.
Software can be written to run under MorphOS that completely ignores Amiga system calls.
Certainly you must deal with MUI, but all of the game ports that rely on OpenGL use virtually no Amiga calls what so ever.
Exactly. These are ports from other platforms not Amiga/MorphOS specific programs.
YES! And MorphOS specific programming does not require AmigaOS 3.1 system calls either.
Franlkly, I hope for their devaluation in MorphOS X64.
What among them is essential for writing code?
And what among these twenty year or older routines makes them worthwhile?
All I want is a quick, streamlined OS that incorporates the best features of MorphOS.
AmigaOS, I can leave that to Hyperion's user base.
After all, we have the best programmers remaining in our community.
Why not trust them to give us a fresher base than would be the result of continuing to drag about the corpse of OS3.1?
