As usual with anything you undertake that you plan to get done quickly, this has mushroomed 8) After sitting down and looking at the huge pile of patches that we apply to PC-Emu, plus Luigi and Serge's extras, etc. it became clear that what we had on our hands was the makings of a fairly substantial upgrade, and that it would be a Real Pain in the Butt to maintain this many slowly-overlapping sets of changes. So anyway, what it boils down to is that David Hedley is quite happy for me to roll a new PC-Emu release and take over looking after it. I can't promise to do any serious development on it, although I can see some places where it would win greatly from the DOScmd code, but I'll undertake to accept patches and coordinate releases. Blah blah blah. I have something that vaguely approximates a cut at this here (very ragged still though 8( ), and what I'm looking for is a small set of testers (perferably ones that are using PC-Emu already) to check that I've correctly merged things and that the result is mildly cohesive. If/when this proves the case, I'll release the result in comp.emulators.misc and make a 'real' port out of it. If you're interested, have a look at ftp://gsoft.com.au/pub/pcemu1.9pre.tar.gz and let me know how you go. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
