[MiNT] Thing bug - is Gryf listening here?



Hi,

this is a mail I sent to gryf some time ago but didn't get a reply.
Perhaps Thomas is reading this mailing list. Though the mail could be
interesting for other readers as well:

Hi Thomas,

I have just found a bug in Thing 1.27 - there's a MOVE.W SR,D0 somewhere
deep in the code and this is a privileged instruction. It needs to be
replaced with MOVE.W CCR,D0. Could you please do it and release an
updated version? It would help a lot.

Also, may I ask you what is your plan with Thing? Is there a newer
version than the mythical 1.29beta that only some selected people may
test? And are you going to release something public anytime soon? How
about open-sourcing Thing? And releasing it under a license that would
allow further development?

Now we have a free TOS, free VDI, free AES, free MiNT - but we don't
have a free desktop. Could you please do something nice with the Thing
to fill the missing free chain member in a fully free TOS environment?

Thanks.

Petr
