While there were quite a few very helpful and courteous attendees, I would have expected more from the creator of MorphOS than asking me to leave simply on the basis of my association with Amiga Inc. Amiga has never and would never ask anyone to leave our PUBLIC support channel simply based on association. There would have to be some netiquette offense for that to happen.


I was there when you were asked to leave.

First of all, owner (that is a guy with op :) of IRC channel can decide who can be there and who not. So, if they dont want Amiga Inc. employees, then they dont. Maybe not nice for you but such is life. And to be honest, you are not always that kind person either.

Another thing is that IRC channel is not strictly dev support channel. It is also for general discussion and you were not only one asking if his app works in MOS. Although me and many other are often helping and testing if requested it can get boring.

And about AmiFTPd: As I told on IRC it should work if it is written in system friendly. Nothing worry about.

Why should Ray not be allowed to join the MorphOS channel?


Remember chat is like a living room where you spend your time and have fun. Mailing list is merely technical forum. I dont keep logs from IRC channels but from my memory:

»»RS said he has no personal problems with Ray, but he doesnt want to be careful with his sayings when a guy from rival company is hanging around.

Could you imagine RS on #OS4 if there were Frieden brothers chatting, maybe talking about future plans? RS asking if some of his old apps work in OS4... I think they would not feel too comfortable either.

Also that whole thing about system friendly is bollocks quite frankly, there are bound to be cases where things don't work quite properly, it comes with the territory when you are reimplementing and emulating a computer system.


If application is written in system friendly manner but doesnt work then problem is more likely in the OS. There were cases when certain application was not working until OS update.

Whatever, I tried AmiFTPd on MorphOS now and it works. System: A1200/BPPC/MOS.

I've heard of a few programs that don't work properly straight out of the box on MOS, checking this is something sensible to do.


Absolutely. But I doubt Ray was going to change anything since apps seemed to be old. (AmiFTPd doesnt know even 060).
