Well, the guy who has been working on this has no Amiga experience, to tell
you the truth.  They sent him up to my office to get pointers on what manuals
to get, etc.  Basically I told him that they should aim for 2.0 support.  Any
less and they'll be spending too much time developing the basic gadgets, 
especially if none of them know the Amiga.  2.0 is the way to go, and Maple
will provide you with one more reason to upgrade your machine....

Note:  like I said, this is what I suggested.  What they will actually do is
up to them... the only affiliation I have with the Maple folks is that we're
researchers in the same university.
