Okay, so now everyone has got his/her very own opinion about all the mess occuring in the Amiga community nowadays (AmigaOS4 vs MorphOS1, AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion vs Thendic/bplan, Bernie vs Harald/H&P, hackers/users/developers/dealers vs Elbox... urgh... who'll be the next??). Every fscking single day there's a new reason that tend to split us all, in a sort of all-against-all war ("I'm on a mission/I made my decision/To lead a path of self destruction" just like the Green Day sung... why can't everyone sit down, relax, bury the hatchet and try to be more constructive, d'oh).
But what if I don't wanna join the rat race? Yeh, I'm very happy with my good ol' hw (Blizz/Cyber+PPC/Vision) and I only wanna update my sw. So, when/where will I be able to buy the new AmigaOS and/or MorphOS and how much will they cost?
When will an official list of features be made available and definitive so that I can choose which one fits my needs the most?

Good old times, where are thou? : Comment 39 of 52 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JoannaK on 07-Dec-2002 05:58 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (Lawd): " > MorphOS doesn't have an Arexx replacement
Does/will MorphOS not have *any* IPC implementation?
"
It runs existing 68K Arexx quite fine (and a lot faster than on 68k amiga). Replacement is most likely matter of time... Likevice on OS4, first releases are announced to containf old 68k Arexx on CD.
Of there potential replacements.. OS4 people are (accordign their coders on OS4-list) considering moving to Python for future OS:es. On MOS I have not heard anythign certain... For a while at least both will use old arexx in 68k-emulation. |
