- But surely said toolkit will need "translating" to the amiga version,
as such it would make sense to use MUI/Reaction so it can take advantage of the global prefs for these two (no they lost Ambient as I understood it).
www.morphos.net still says otherwise, not that it really matters. I'm not sure how the UI toolkit will work on AOS, partly because all the docs I've tried to read are in sxw format :-o
I will point out I was using htat as an example, just because we are not supporting other platforms, doesnt mean we cant choose to port things in a particular way to make it easier for it to be ported to the similar systems. Or even that we have to consider this, as I've said previously its something that needs discussing. When it comes right down to it, I use OS4, the only version I want is an OS4 version, but if making the AROS/MOS porters lives a bit easier is what it takes, to get the thing done quicker, then I say at least consider it.
I think what it really boils down is will the work done by MOS/AROS people outweigh the amount of extra work needed to support those OSes? I'm all for inclusion, but I'm cautious about losing focus.
