I've got the picture now, thanks. That's ok but I wonder what I'd
use it for? Seems to me it's strictly for developers of other
systems, or for experimental use on the Amiga.
Back in 1988 or so, before I had a PC and before PC Windows
existed, I was developing a PC database for a local school's pupil
records, written in dBase. I did much of the work on my Amiga 500
with a KCS PC emulator card, and that was a lot faster than the
Amstrads they had at the school :-) I mention this as an example of
developing software on another machine, so I understand that. But
I'm retired now and I no longer have an interest in breaking new
frontiers - until I'm forced to by a new generation of Amigas.
Then my interest will be aroused! But I'll still look further into
the subject of Linux. I need more education :-)
Thanks again to all who replied.
John
