OK, like I said, naive on my part as I have not had a lot of opportunity to work with OS4.
Hey Nik, what gives you the idea we can run OS4 binaries?
I haven't had a lot of luck with that.
And Octamed is significant (did anyone ever suspect I'd be making the OS4 argument?)
As to the differences inherent in 3.1 vs 4.1 system calls, if necessary the entire body of 3.1 could be incorporated and interpreted.
And UAEs hardware emulation?
Why not go that route?
When MorphOS was introduced, the hardware didn't have the power to consider that option, but what we are running our OS' on now certainly does.
And why not do it better than X86 based UAE?
There are obvious advantages.
For one, UAE can't run the PPC binaries.
Ideally, an NG OS would run legacy apps and NG apps concurrently, seamlessly as if everything was native.
At that point, the arguments against transition evaporate.
