Certainly not all of them, but the goal is to make a large part of it
working. But at the moment it isn't possible to estimate how big the
compatibility finally will be.

WarpUp encloses all the concepts around PPC programming, it's one way
of how the PPC technology is used for the AMIGA. WarpOS is a kernel
implementation. So if you talk about some more generic aspects of the
whole PowerPC stuff, then it's more appropriate to use the term WarpUp,
while it's better to refer to WarpOS when talking about specific
issues of the kernel, powerpc.library or something similar.
