[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] Porting support

peter@sugar.hackercorp.com (Peter da Silva) (05/29/91)

Let's take this from the top. I'll let the Manx vs. Lattice thread fizzle out,
and start over.

Imprimus: There are differences between the Manx and Lattice compilers and
	  their run-time libraries.

Secundus: Many programmers (presumably ex-C64 jocks) write code that was never
	  designed to be portable.

Tertius: In practical terms, this leads to a lot of time wasted porting code,
	 or a lot of code left unused.

So, I would like to propose an effort to provide the tools needed to automate
as much of this porting as possible. Who wants to join me on this? If you just
want to flame, you know where /dev/null is.
