- Here's a little more. The Amiga Report article can be found at,
- for example,
- http://www.cucug.org/ar/ar405_Sections/feature3.HTML
-
- Here's where to find more information:
- http://www.willows.com/

- A quote from Willows:
- "To reiterate what the TWIN XPDK product is. It is a developer's toolkit
- that allows for the development and/or deployment of C/C++ source based
- applications to alternate platforms. The binary component of TWIN is
- meant as a debugging/profiling aid to determine what api is called and
- the messages that get passed. This allows you, the developer, to try your
- "wintel" binary to see what needs to be addressed *during* the port
- as opposed to after it. It is also used to allow for the calling of
- Intel binaries such as DLLs, VBXs and DRVs. It is *not* meant as a windows
- binary emulator such as WABI and is not meant to run windows
- applications stand alone, such as Word and Quicken. Use of TWIN XPDK
- for the stand alone emulation of Windows Binary Applications is *not*
- currently supported by Willows."
-
- I'm not associated with Willows in any way; I just think it might be
- good for Amigas if AmigaOS was one of the platforms supported by
- this TWIN thingie. Is anybody else interested?
