- I think that would be very nice. Especially if we could find a common
- hardware and OS binding header standard (currently, both Pure C and
- MiNT library violate parts of the original documentation).
-
- Another issue: future versions of Mag!X (the commercial multitasking
- system from the NVDI authors) will support parts of the MiNT calls
- (Fselect, Fxattr and so on). It would be very nice if the MiNT library
- wouldn't check for the MiNT cookie. Instead it should rely on the return
- code -32.
-
- *IF* I would start to change parts of the library, would this be
- incorporated in the release, entropy?
