| Star Office for Amiga? Maybe. : Comment 3 of 16 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by greenboy on 17-Jul-2000 22:00 GMT | I don't think the poster of this news explicitly mentioned the original Amiga. But if that was the intended target for porting, I too would say fat chance, for the reasons mentioned in both posts above. Star Office *would* port to QNX's RtP though, and most likely Ami.
...This topic reminds me of the earlier-effort to port MySQL to the classic. A fair amount of work, and not really the type of app that is suited for the platform anyway since the Amiga is not built on a suitable security model. Nor does it have other things like PHP to properly leverage the use of MySQL. But hey, if developers want to bust their chops on busy work, that's their decision. |
