- I think the goal always to achive is, that the next AmigaOS is compatible
- with the last one. So isn't is possible to add an advanced API to the OS
- with MP and RT in mind. In the next version, there wouldn't be MP and RT
- and no current program will fail. And in one or two years when everybody
- has this let's say OS 3.2, AT could make OS4 with just the new API
- supported and with MP and RT. Until OS4 every program has to be converted
- to use the new API. I don't know how complex the changes to the API would
- be, so...
