I'll second that. Back when the first transputer system was available about 5
years ago, I thought it had great potential (the speed! wow!) but with no
guarantee of any real software availability the product floundered.
I'm curious though; can the LW rendering engines be used on 486 emulator boards,
and can we stuff an amiga to capacity with these to have everything in one box?

Software algorithms are mathematical procedures.
You cannot patent mathematical procedures, we SHOULDN'T PATENT SOFTWARE!
