By "PC native" version, do you mean "native on top of DOS", "native on top of the bare PC", or something else entirely? I just wrote Wojtek some stuff about how nice it was to have my S3 code running all over the place. If your group doesn't see any future for the other ports of S3, do you think that 1) Your state-of-the-art system will continue to run code written to today's S3 systems, and 2) People (such as Hannes Marias) will continue to develop things for these other platforms from time to time? I don't have any particular problem with your decision to support primarily one platform; I'm just trying to figure out where to put my resources and how to best utilize all this S3 code I've got up and running... Thanks for your comments. -greg
