To return to the article: I think porting software from a QL to an Amiga ( or vice versa ) is about as difficult as porting software from UNIX to a QL : Not to simple. The problem is that QDOS is a quite odd operating system; it has calls which can do the job but with different calls then you should expect. e.g. a stty() call on a window is not existent; one should use another call to read in "raw" and "cooked" mode ( no cbreak; signals doesn't exist on a QL ). Another major problem is the lack of any environment variables on the QL. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Klamer Schutte mcvax!nikhefh!n62 n62@nikhefh.hep.nl
