- Why did engineering give them the AGA info then ? They could easily
- have said: 'There are sufficient support in the OS for what you
- want to do. Use it.'
-
- C= made a big mistake in not developing good lowlevel game libraries
- when they developed the 3.0/3.1 OS. That's IMHO why they eventually
- gave out the AGA info. ( Blame the C= management who probably kept
- a very tight budget on ALL development. )
-
- Ofcourse I have every faith in AT not making those same mistakes. I
- think you've done a marvellous job so far. When the PAmigas come, I
- hope to see the OS expanded also for game programmers.
