  Description

The Geek Gadgets Version 2 CD-ROM (Amiga Developers Environment) from Cronus, due for release in April 1997, will contain a developers release of p.OS and all necessary tools for p.OS development. Using these tools, it is possible to write programs that run on both p.OS and AmigaOS using the same binary file.  A shared library that runs on both
operating systems provides applications with all necessary ANSI C and POSIX support, while special startup code allows programs to determine at startup whether they are running on p.OS or AmigaOS and make the appropriate system calls.  Using this technique, the development tools themselves run on either operating system with negligible overhead or increased binary size.

The p.OS developer release requires an m68020 (or higher) processor, a hard drive, and a minimum of 2 MB of RAM.  Applications developed for this portable operating system are source code compatible with p.OS ports to other architectures such as the PowerPC.  With a simple recompile, developers of p.OS applications can reach the entire installed base of p.OS users, regardless of the underlying hardware.  By porting to p.OS now, developers will be able to take advantage of easy migration to future p.OS releases on other architectures and enjoy the benefits of hardware independence (and a brighter market).

Now contain the developers version and tools of the P.OS from ProDad
