No, Blitz is Blitz on any Amiga (real or emulated). The code it produces
is exactly the same on all systems. Remember that it was written for
68000 only systems, so the processor doesn't affect anything - anything
more advanced than the 68000 handles in hardware is done in software
(i.e. 32 bit multiplication).

Nope Blitz runs fine on OS3.5. And there is no difference between running
OS3.5 on an Amiga or UAE.

I get the same output on my OS3.5 WinUAE as your real Amiga. Perhaps a
broken Blitz installation? Some dodgy CLI? Are the programs /really/ the
same on both your systems? Have you tried stepping through the code with
the debugger and checking with that what the results would be?

What do you mean putting 'runs without errors' in the specs?
