This is probably good, but it is not as good as a lot of people are
thinking I'd imagine. Even if Blitz itself uses exactly the same
commands, and I can't see that being likely for eg. GUI work, then most
of our source won't be directly transferable because we use either 3rd
party libraries or OS functions.
Don't get me wrong, this has got to be a good thing. Just don't expect
to translate your programs over to it easily.
I hope it doesn't suffer as many problems as the amiga version ;)
Cheers,
