Hehe. You seem to add a lot of common errors

Excellent work. All the way

_________________
This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

Great work.

Being a programmer on windoze I might give a try at porting when i get the Flex...

Sigh, I only program i BASIC, have forgotten almost all of my C skills...

And the only "fresh up" of C i get to do is C# :(

Anyway, enough complaining... :)

I have promissed myself to look further into AmiBlitz or maybe Hollywood..

Do you have a list of games / programs already ported by you - so others don't start porting something already ported (I can of course check os4depot, before starting)

I plan to program for Amiga.

I promise nothing, though.

You see something,

And... thanks for the encouragement !

Hello,

who are you, spotUP ????

We are talking about you on a french forum (about this 2.0 version released posted as a news) and members said to me that you are not a coder and port things for the amiga ????

Even HunoPPC use your work for porting things for aos4 !!!! It's unbeleivable for me (if It's the good word in english

you port:

- game from linux ???
- command line tools from linux ???

Excuse me if funny but have a SAM recently and not know all about aos4 world (just some months on aos4 world after more than 20 years with AOS3).
