That's partially right.
I keep working on DOS version.
Since Si Owen doesn't want to release his sources (I hate him for this),
I can't do much and I'm affraid Linux is out for now, since DOS is out too.
In addition I'd like to ask this: Why Linux users don't make their version
first and
give us their sources? It is very easy to say: "Make you Win version Linux
compatible." I bet everybody can say this, but not too many people can
really do
something for Linux, what will be usable for "our" ;) Win32 version.
And of course many of them don't know much on the Win32 programming, when
they say "keep current SimCoupe's menu".
I'm really sorry, but I must say I don't like this people!
I hope Si Owen will continue making ***Win32*** version.
Another task is how Win32 programmers can exactly know what is "Linux
friendly" in C++ source?
Also,
I think Linux users can simply use DOS version. Or not? Why not?
Either use DOS emulator (change Sim Coupe for DOS a bit, if the current
version doesn't work in DOS emulator), or simply use a boot disk with DOS.
Many Linux users I know have DOS installed on their computer too.
So what's the problem?
I'm sorry for this negative mail, but I'm really frustrated of all these
Linux activists.....
