Reduced to essentials, the graphics and windowing software, already written
in C, was grafted onto AmigaDos aka Tripos, already written in BCPL.  Rewriting
either one would have meant that you would still be waiting for the Amiga to

Why don't you contact Bob Pariseau (amiga!bobp) at amiga directly, and see if
you can work something out...
