My second point (or question) for what it's worth is that other than machine code routines, peek and poke for fixed memory (screen or systems variables) does SuperBASIC need 680?? emulation?
Well, I suspect that QPC will run under WINE on any flavour of Linux, and not necessarily one that has an Intel Processor of x86 fame beneath it. So QPC will probably run fine under WINE under Ubuntu on the Pi.
More specifically, SuperBasic is "just" a language - albeit a good one. So I suppose someone could write a SuperBasic interpreter/compiler in, say C, to be packaged up and/or compiled from source on any Linux.
If this person wasw to use something like wxWidgets or QT, then the code would be cross platform and SuperBasic on Windows would be a possibility.
The obvious problem would be Machine code - unless the SuperBasic system had a built in 68000 emulator, then assembly will be a non-starter.
None (I presume) of the system variables and so on would be the same either. The *language* would be there, just not the platform itself.
I think! Cheers, Norm. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
