@ Heiroglyph:
Long story short, that's why I'm looking at reviving Amithlon without the IP problems but I was curious as to what people liked/disliked about the original.
You have that skill set? If so, then I'm impressed.
I'm no expert here, so I may be talking out my S, but... if you can do this, consider two options: first, use what AROS has already got and just build a workbench that can behave like Amithlon. I doubt it's as simple as that, considering the issues that Emumiga is having.
Probably the better option, however, is to parallel Bernie's work. This creates something closer to Anubis, which I personally favor, because of the driver and memory protection issues.
But, like I said, I'm probably talking out my S.
It's a shame, he's an awesome developer and has great ideas. Plus he's just too nice to have that happen to him. Where is karma when you need it?
I remember Bernie from his Comp.Sys.Amiga daze. He had quite an attitude back then and I, Aram Iskenderian and Luca Diana, among others, got into many a heated argument with him. I think he was, as with many, pretty disappointed over the that state of things back then. I'm certainly glad he decided to use his powers for good and not evil with Amithlon and, yea, it's a shame everything ended up the way it did.
