- My whole point in a nutshell is when you are overworked and understaffed
- (as ARDI currently is...), you really shouldn't start to spread yourself
- too thin.
-
- Now, my impression of ARDI's strategy is that they aren't looking to take
- anymore ports on until they can get 2.0 out the door, and more CA$H and
- engineers IN the door.
-
- At that point I'd have no objection to ANY port of Executor. I just wanted
- the OS/2 people to realize that ARDI isn't able to do the OS/2 port now no
- matter how trivial it seems to them.
-
- We were lucky to get the sound support we now have (which wasn't planned
- until after 2.0) because someone outside of ARDI wrote the code.
-
- I'm pretty sure a Windows to OS/2 port of this type is NOT trivial or
- fast. Emulation seems to me to be a very difficult undertaking, otherwise
- there'd be a lot more emulators out there on the market.
