Code wise, OS4 has as much in common with the 3.1 code as AROS or MorphOS - i.e. nothing but lip service.


Oh really. And how do you know how much source code in OS4 is based on OS3.1 code? And if they were getting rid of most of it, why would they have put so much effort into getting it to build in GCC so that they could stop having to use special Sun based systems to build it?

@KennyR:

While I havent seen the sources myself (i wish :-) ), it is supposedly mostly C code with some BCPL and Assembler. The BCPL code is supposed to be finally laid to rest in OS4.

I would imagine there is a lot of useful C code from the 3.1 sources.
