Re: [gambit-list] Gambit archeology
Whee, thanks. I wonder if I can get these to run on my 4mb Atari ST :D
Ask Ken Dickey... the first Gambit user... he ported Gambit to his Amiga almost 20 years ago today...
Gambit ran just fine in a 1 MB Amiga (once the library changes were made), so it should do well with four times the memory! I probably should refrain from repeating Perlis' quip about some things being an improvement over their successors. 8^}. [NB: with reference to the Amiga which booted from a 256KB EPROM with a real-time kernel and window system -- NOT to Gambit's newer and improving releases!]. Cheers, -KenD

The Amiga was an *awesome* machine in its day. Remember the 3D bouncing ball demo? On the hardware of the day that was pretty fantastic! david -- GPG Public key at http://cyber-rush.org/drr/gpg-public-key.txt
