RoadShow is still 68k (AFAIK), and most importanly it is still
just as unreleleased as as AmiTCP-PPC for MOS.

Where do you get your information from... :roll:

RoadShow most certainly is in PPC form, I have it right here. And as for being unreleased, true, not to the public yet but I've been using it as my TCP/IP stack in 3.9 and 4.0 for the last three months...

:lol: Looking forward to get AmigaOS 4.0 :-D

Isn't Roadshow going to be released for MorphOS once OS4 is out though?  I thought I remember seeing something mentioned about that.

Hi' Kent

I have never read it from a reliable source, do you have a link?

I don't know for certain, but I do know that Roadshow as/is already runs on MorphOS.  I even emailed it's author to see about buying a copy to use on my MOS bos.

Ok, have not tried RoadShow myself, but if it is as good as I have heard, then I hope that you will be able to get a native MorphOS version :-D

...API support:  MorphOS supports AmigaOS's API + PowerUP and WarpOS.  OS4 only supports AmigaOS's API. ...

MorphOS supports AmigaOS 3.1's API + PowerUP and WarpOS ... AmigaOS 4.0(beta) supports AmigaOS 4.0's API (big difference)

...Desktop:  MorphOS has full top-to-bottom 24/32-bit color support.  OS4 has various elements still using an 8-bit pen-based system. ...

If you are thinking of the icons, remember that in AmigaOS 4.0(beta) every icon has it's own palette

... My judgement on all of this:  MorphOS's list shows that it is more mature, more "ready for prime-time", but this is not a negative slam against OS4.  Remember, MorphOS has been under active development for going-on 5 years, compared to OS4's 2+ years.  At twice the development age, of COURSE MorphOS is more refined, more polished.  This is not exactly a huge leap of logic here.  I fully expect OS4 to rival MOS's current features in another 2.5 years.  But imagine where MOS will be by that point. ...

Remember the AmigaOS4 development team has not been starting from the scratch... AmigaOS has been under development since 1984...
