Anything new wont work on MagiC, N.AES". Incredible...This is the view of the OS developer: here is a new feature, use it! But an application developer wants, tha as much people can use the software as possible. And the number of MagiC/MagiCMac/MagiCPC, N.AES and SingleTOS users is a part that no developer can IMO ignore!Of course they can! All TOS/GEM developers do this for fun and doesn't have to take any commercial concerns. If I want to develop for XaAES only, I'm free to do so, and if XaAES makes it easier for me then I probably will... Jo Even
Very well put. I prefer to use prgrams that I have written myself. Most of them are not suited for publication but suit me well enough. They will benefit from any new development if I wish and I dont have to bother about backward compatability. Nobody knows how many like me are around. -- Groeten; Regards.
