- In which respect would this make the system more difficult to
- use? VM is probably a comlicated and complex matter regarding
- implementing it in a kernel or writing libraries, but it should
- be transparent for the non-system programmer and the user, so
- they don't have to worry whether they're using a vitual or a
- physical machine.
-
- To throw in my vote, I'd like to see MiNT move in the Un*x
- direction. I'll move my work to a Un*x box next year, and the
- more unixlike my Atari is, the better will I be able to use for
- development at home etc.
