I think it would be more intelligent to just shut up already. How many thousand messages have to go by before the clue-light turns on in your head? If you honestly believe that you have a great idea with this freebsd-emulator for linux, then write it. Otherwise, drop the topic. I think you're also deluding yourself by thinking this is a "Brett Glass vs Jordan" issue. As near as I can tell, it's "Brett Glass tilting at windmills all by himself" issue. It is quite possible that there are a lot of people here who agree with you. If THAT is true, then you should have a lot of people to help you implement this freebsd-emulator for linux, and it will be all that much the easier to prove your point. Me, I'm sympathetic to the IDEA of a freebsd-emulator, but I do not really believe it is practical. It's like saying the world will see a lot more Amiga programs if someone would just write an Win32 emulator for AmigaOS. If someone WANTS to write for the Win32 market, then why would they use some foreign API which merely adds another layer where something can go wrong? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
