Anything but "ACK proven untrustworthy"

@Rogue et al

Thanks for all the insights and techie background info

This "virtual environment" caught my eye, though.
Mind if i pesker you with a question?

Programs running in this environment are meant to be "old" programs (like a todays
build of ScummVM), written for the "not-memory-protected-kernel", aren?t they?
They?d still run, but "inside" this environment (which isn?t meant to be "bad" or "slower", isn?t it?).

For devs and porters (like me ... maybe ... one day) does that mean a matter of rewriting
the whole thing (devs) or simply rebuilding under the, then used, SDK (ports)?

Keep going, Rogue

@Rogue

Any idea what kind of message-passing system the new Amiga OS will have? I hope that it won't require copying data into and out of a buffer, etc., but allow the memory involved to temporarily be shared with the target process.

The other thing I'm wondering about is how this would affect BOOPSI. BOOPSI passes data by reference all over the place. Could this be solved simply by having an intuition thread within a process, or will BOOPSI be deprecated too?

Oh, that's OK, there?s no need. Anyone who wants to know what I was on about can listen to my latest chat (070825, available on my web site; and recorded and uploaded before finding the moderator?s edit, so no, the two are not connected).

I'm actually rather surprised that the post stayed as long as it did, which in itself is a testimony against those who claim that the moderation is too tight here.

In my case, that would have been 20/20 hind sight?you can?t expect hind sight in advance. :-/
