I know Chad, we are not talking about changing our operating system. Merely to allow other programs, written for MS Windows, to operate on the Amiga without much modification by creating a library which intercepts the calls to MS Windows to do things such as open a window or create a gadget and instead call the appropriate Amiga routines. Everything would appear just like an Amiga program, except it would probably be slow. -- Ethan Woody Allen on Los Angeles: "I mean, who would want to live in a place where the only cultural advantage is that you can turn right on a red light?"
