The majority of the Software that is still under development today should'nt be to hard to port to Aros.


That is if you have the source code and you dont get killed by endianess bugs and doesnt have 68k asm. Or doesnt depend on closed source 68k libraries and classes...

If you ported ImageFx to AROS that easily I can only agree.

How compatible is AROS with progs compiled from Amiga specific languages like AMOS and E?


It is not binary compatible (except 68k build of AROS). AROS is compatible on the source code level.

VBCC port probably exists but I dont know any other compilers available to AROS. Maybe some Basic languages (sdlbasic?) or script languages are available. No idea really.
