Thanks for posting those sources! I don't have an Amiga; I use an
IBM-PC/AT compatible (Zenith 200). It took me almost no time at all to
port it back. People are complaining about net.sources.mac because is
only has binaries in it; sources are useful to more than just those who
have the machine you use the code on. I am SO glad to see that the Amiga
can run portable programs! Makes it look like a real computer, somehow.
All the Macintosh programs that are so non-portable that there is no
benefit to posting sources remind me somehow of the kind of code that
goes into rom for imbedded computers in household appliances. Keep up
the good work!
