The emulation is now complete enough to run the Amiga Shell natively, along with a huge set of development tools. That is, GNUmake, smake, SAS/C, DevPac and the h68x assembler, along with PhxAss all run fine. Shell functionality is also mostly complete, including shell scripting.

I'm very interested in this project since it would finally let us run console based virus checkers directly on the Aminet server.

I talked to Christian a year ago, running xvs.library wasn't possible back then. I think opening libraries wasn't even implemented yet, but there was also some other problem which I can't remember anymore. I'll try again to see if anything changed and ask Christian what the actual stumbling block was.

Thanks a lot for your work on this.
