- Hi,
-
- I am the person who is doing the port of ADAED. I am now half way with
- the port, but at the moment my Archimedes 310 gets a memory upgrade.
- To get ADAED compiling on the Archie I need more memory, thats why I
- upgrade my machine. My friend who is doing this upgrade said to me that
- it will take two weeks to do this upgrade (he has a normal job and is
- doing this in his spare time). So I hope I can continue with it in about
- two weeks (after two weeks I have a lot more spare time also, so the
- porting should go a bit faster. At the moment I did the programming in
- the weekends).
