The AmiKit X site states:
https://www.amikit.amiga.sk/
"Originally Developed for A.L.I.C.E."
Since AmiKit X has been released, does that mean the A.L.I.C.E. project is dead or did AmiKit get tired of waiting for it to be released?
If i bought a new laptop and AmiKit X could i create my own A.L.I.C.E. like system?
No need to buy Amikit X at all if you want an "A.L.I.C.E" type system. Amikit is made up of free software..... %99 of what it contains is freely available on aminet and similar.
As for the "rabbit hole" feature, Im not sure how its been done here, but its very, very easy to recreate. For Windows apps just use Winlaunch (as amikit does) and for other OSes apps (linux, osx, aros, whatever) just setup a timer on the host to scan a location once a second or so, the contents of which will contain a script to launch software (defined by dopus' sniff feature....... if binary contains certain elements define a generic script (that launches whatever software youre trying to launch).
There's a few other bits to it to smooth out the rough edges, but for the most part thats all it requires. There's plenty of other ways to do it too, but thats how Ive setup 68k AROS to launch x86 AROS binaries. The theory and methods are platform agnostic though.
Im actually surprised this "Rabbit Hole" feature has grabbed many peoples attention to be honest. Do people not know how to use their Amigas these days?
Its all pretty simple stuff.
