As soon as (if?) the cc68 cross-compiler can produce code for the Amiga, it should be very easy to move many of the programs that were developed for the Mac over to the Amiga. This is yet another good reason for writing good device-dependant c-code when developing for a micro. Rick Busdiecker rfb@h.cs.cmu.edu cmu-cs-pt!cmu-cs-h!rfb
