- I was wondering what type of an undertaking it would be to try porting
- 19.30 to Amiga, possibly making a configuration spec to
- make later versions ported easier.
-
- Can anyone give me an indication of the involvement here? (people who
- have ported 18.56 or 19.25, or attempted others?) Is it mostly a
- matter of trying to replicate the curses library calls, and Xlib
- calls? If so, are there major complications incorporating these with
- Intuition/WB?
-
- Is the biggest stumbling block the Amiga's architecture
- (GUI/terminal support, memory), too many components to convert, or the
- overall source itself?
-
- Should I even think about looking into this?
-
- Your insights are well apreciated,
-
- Joe
