Re: [MiNT] Re[3]: usage of wind_calc()
Quoting Martin Elsässer <Martin_Elsaesser@ll.maus.de>:
No! It's a good thing to add new features to the AES. But for applications
that should support this features, it must give a way to run on other OS,
where these features are missing.
That would be totally pointless. If you could have the same feature
without it
being part of the AES, then why would you add it to the AES? Its either not
possible to emulate it from userspace and MUST go into the AES, or you are
putting it into the AES to make the application developers job easier and make
the application code smaller. If every application has to emulate the
features
of the AES, then putting it into the AES is pointless.
But this would be the only way for applications to run on OS without these
new features. It must give a way, to implement new features to XaAES and
build a - hopefully small - TSR which implements these features - or
TSRs and AUTO folder programs are not clean. Don't expect people to
write new
code for their OS of choice and then turn around and write the same thing as a
hack for every other AES out there. If you want to write one for your OS of
choice, feel free, otherwise contact your vendor for updates.
The other possibility is perhaps compiling parts of MiNT for PPC native
code and using the NatFeat capability of aranym to run those parts
natively.
That would be a very good thing! THings would run much faster than now, I
think!
That would be nice, although the seperation would be tough. A portable
version
of MiNT/XaAES would be interesting though.
