I wouldn't hold my breath, and if were started tomorrow, by the time you got it all fully working the worl would be using the LEG processor faimilly and we'd start this conversation again.

Perfect - this post alone is enough for me to decide never ever buy anythig OS4 related, or any new version of PPaint. Your work is obvously moot, all the porting to C was pointless. Thanks for the entertainmemt, cheers.

My complaint is that none of the so called NG systems are worth calling NG, there really is no generation gap between them and OS3.x, everything is essencially still the same. I wish at least one of "NG" options would have guts to move on and create a modern alternative, but it seems that noone is interested.

If you want something substantially different, there is Linux. Or Windows. Or IOS. Runs on modern hardware, pretty powerful, avoids a lot of the design problems of AmigaOs. NG is just incompatible enough to 3.x to be uninteresting, but not incompatible enough to be modern.


Exactly, that it is the problem I have with "NG", and since 3D games are totally unimpressing to me, Warp3D etc are of little interest. And you should be aware by now that I do use Linux and various BSD (including OSX and iOS) already. Windows just doesn't have the tools I need daily, but it's ok as an occational service in the cloud or in temporary vm.
