terminills - So, I don't go quoting all that I've said before, let me just keep to the most
relevant point, in my opinion, that I asked, that you don't seem to have answered specifically . . .
Quote:I would also have to ask, if you got it running on an A600 (68k) (GS) architecture system, then what would there be to prevent it from running on MorphOS under Trance emulation?"
I know your choice of Amiga OS to aim for is your priority, and that seems to be AROS, and I have to appreciate your consideration for that platform, as being more relevant to you than other Amiga variants, and I would not want to see you delay completing your FW v7.1 release for AROS, in preference to any other Amiga variant version of Final Writer.
It's just that, as you've made it available for a well known Amiga 68k piece of hardware (A600),
even if it is a cut-down AROS version, that A600 release surely should be able to be run within MorphOS's Trance capabilities, or via some Amiga emulation that MorphOS can use very reliably.
So, it seems strange, to say the least, that you haven't passed it, or at least been in contact with someone in the MorphOS Development Team, or tried it yourself on a MorphOS system - which you have not stated to my knowledge. Even I will test if you are agreeable to that - and I can assure you I would not pass the data to anyone else, and I would sign any NDA you want regarding being allowed access to the data to ensure your peace of mind, that's if you can't entice anyone from the MOS Dev Team to see what would need to be changed, if anything, for it to run under Trance or Amiga 68k emulation on MorphOS.
That is, prior to native versions of Final Writer v7.1 being completed, which I feel sure many of the MorphOS user community will be eagerly anticipating, as will the wider Amiga community whenever a native version(s) of Final Writer v7.1 for each and every Amiga system is completed, in whichever order you choose to release your version of Final Writer.
