Of course there is another problem for Paul. Foundation was written in
Blitz Basic 2 and that can't generate PPC code either. Paul, time to learn
C methinks

I currently run Foundation in RTG mode with a 030/25 pending the arrival of
my 060. Its quite playable. In fact back in the days when I had a 040/25 on
my A1200 and doing Foundation beta testing it was really cool.

The current version is slower in RTG mode because it makes OS calls to do
this. However I think Paul has plans to do direct calls which will make it
a lot faster than AGA. Correct me if I'm wrong Paul! :)
