The Geek Gadgets CD-ROM (Amiga Developers
Environment) from Cronus, will contain a developers
release of p.OS and all necessary tools for p.OS
development. Using these tools, it is possible to
write programs that run on both p.OS and AmigaOS
using the same binary file.ÿ A shared library that runs
on both operating systems provides applications
with all necessary ANSI C and POSIX support, while
special startup code allows programs to determine at
startup whether they are running on p.OS or
AmigaOS and make the appropriate system calls.ÿ
Using this technique, the development tools
themselves run on either operating system with
negligible overhead or increased binary size.
<p>
The p.OS developer release requires an m68020 (or
higher) processor, a hard drive, and a minimum of 2
MB of RAM. Applications developed for this
portable operating system are source code
compatible with p.OS ports to other architectures
such as the PowerPC. With a simple recompile,
developers of p.OS applications can reach the
entire installed base of p.OS users, regardless of the
underlying hardware.ÿ By porting to p.OS now,
developers will be able to take advantage of easy
migration to future p.OS releases on other
architectures and enjoy the benefits of hardware
independence (and a brighter market).
<p>
This May '98 edition has a lot of updates and newer
program versions than the previous releases.
