Finally: This is an Amiga community. If AROS can run the Amiga software then the programs that are liked can be used. Final writer and so on. And it is possible to make better versions because the added power of AROS and the hardware under it.
AROS has EUAE for years. There is a bounty for integrating EUAE with AROS that is open to donations. There are indeed several options for the Amiga Community to deal with the above:
1. Fire up EUAE when you need to run an Amiga68K app.
2. Routinely donate to the EUAE bounty on P2P until a developer full fills the bounty. If you want AROS to run on your existing hardware, donate half of the money you are saving by not buying new hardware.
3. Port whatever software you are missing to AROS or rewrite from scratch.
I'm simply amazed people on here expect AROS developers to do their bidding for FREE. I guess they still haven't gotten the hang of OSS vs paying for hardware/OS in a package. Sure, if your buying hardware, I can clearly understand you demand to run your preferred software with minimum of effort. This is because your spending $, probably a significant amount, that will go to pay the hardware and software engineers plus everyone else in the loop that brings you their product. This goes for OS4 or MOS.
AROS, OTOH, unless your coughing up cash for bounties it's costing you nothing. If you paid nothing into AROS, how the hell can you even expect a developer, who your not paying, to do things you want if it's not of his/her interest? AROS is not being funded by your taxes. Your buying any product will not yield directly to any AROS developer's paycheck because they don't get a paycheck.
To quote an old US saying (forgive the drug reference plz), "Grass, Gas, or Ass, No One Rides For Free."
