>The Geek Gadgets Version 2 CD-ROM (Amiga Developers Environment) from
>Cronus,
>due for release in April 1997, will contain a developers release of
p.OS
>and
>all necessary tools for p.OS development.

>Using these tools, it is possible to write programs that run on both
>p.OS
>and AmigaOS using the same binary file.  A shared library that runs on
>both
>operating systems provides applications with all necessary ANSI C and
>POSIX
>support, while special startup code allows programs to determine at
>startup
>whether they are running on p.OS or AmigaOS and make the appropriate
>system
>calls.  Using this technique, the development tools themselves run on
>either
>operating system with negligible overhead or increased binary size.

>The p.OS developer release requires an m68020 (or higher) processor, a
>hard
>drive, and a minimum of 2 MB of RAM.  Applications developed for this
>portable operating system are source code compatible with p.OS ports to
>other architectures such as the PowerPC.  With a simple recompile,
>developers of p.OS applications can reach the entire installed base of
>p.OS
>users, regardless of the underlying hardware.  By porting to p.OS now,
>developers will be able to take advantage of easy migration to future
>p.OS
>releases on other architectures and enjoy the benefits of hardware
>independence (and a brighter market).
