Subject: MGR ported to the Atari ST
I've ported MGR to the Atari ST (running the MiNT multitasking system). Are
you interested in the diffs? I started with the Sparc version, and the port
was surprisingly easy -- in the src directory, probably around 20K of context
diffs or so. I'm still working on the clients; not all of them will run
on an ST (we have no /bin/sh, for example, so the stuff in demo/sh will be
a problem :-). But on the whole, the code is quite clean and portable. Nice
work you did there.
Also: I'd like to make a binary version available for FTP.
I wanted to distribute the binaries because there's no standard C compiler
available for the ST; I used the gcc, but not everyone has enough memory
or hard disk space to run that. Thus, sources would not be terribly useful
to most Atari users.
Finally, thanks for releasing MGR. It looks very nice, and performs
remarkably well (I didn't really expect much on an 8 MHz 68000, but I was
pleasantly surprised). And some of the clients (e.g. zoom) look quite
impressive.
Regards,
