Mixed-mode stuff may be messy, but at first glance it would appear one could emulate PPC code better than 68K code due to arcihtecture differences (the PPC is cleaner, the source code should be more transparent due to more registers, but I guess the x86 limitations may hamper this) More pressing to me is if you are considering licensing libraires for Mac emulation? What would be nice is if mac programmers (like me) could pop in a library and compile a 32 bit DOS app which runs just like a mac (albeit sys 6) app... I am just in the somewhat painful process of porting my app to win32 :( The problem with this whole emulation business is that the real computer world just keeps on moving (by the time you get 68K working well enough for you to be happy, you may not be able to buy any) Not that I think you're doing a poor job - just the opposite... jeff
