A few non-critical questions and comments...
I have a question about the future the way that ardi sees: Will I be
able to install the MacOS on a partition on my hard drive using your
synthetic CPU in the future? Is this something that is plausible? The
idea being that I could have an entire MacOS partition, a VFAT partition,
a Linux ext2fs and an OS/2 hpfs and have a boot manager select which
operating system to start up... Then of course, If I need to access the
Mac Programs while under either DOS, OS/2 or LINUX, I could fire up the
emulator, and access the partition. The advantage being that If an app
doesn't work under the emulator, I could resort to rebooting the native
MacOS, but mostly I could stay comfortable in my LINUX environment. (I
guess I'm speculating on what sort of deal it is that you may be able to
spark with Apple, in version >2.0 with buying the actual MacOS7.5)
Additionally, I would like to say "thanks ardi!" for your generosity of
contributing the mac-fs to someone who will implement it on Linux! I'm
really impressed with your "saintly" philosophy! :-) I can of course,
see how this will help out both you and the linux community. (Anyone who
doesn't know what I'm talking about, read their new FAQ! Great job on
the FAQ!)
And in case I haven't gone way off on speculations yet, how about this:
Has there been any talk with the Caldera people? They are trying real
hard to make Linux commercially viable, mainly via Windows support (as in
MS-Win), perhaps they can find a shortcut in support of Executor... ??
