Hi, Phill! Sorry for the delay in the response. I had three exams this week
— two hard ones on the same day! 😉 But it's spring break now, and I actually
don't have any papers to write! Yahoo! <g>

<g> If you subscribe yourself, you can use AutoPilot on your Amiga. No more
Unix blues (or is that monochrome greens? <g>)! B)
>> Anyway, how is it going. Have you made any progress?
I haven't even _tried_ to make progress — I've been too busy with other
garbage, such as studying. :l I should have some time this summer, though. (It
starts in May for me :). Or perhaps I'll spend some time on it next week —
that's doubtful, though, as I need to do a lot of learning about how to program
the custom chips directly, as well as other things.

Uh….
>> Actually this is probably too heavy to think about let alone code.
You got that one right. <g> Sounds _very_ memory-intensive, though.
I wish I could get my bookstore to order me a 680×0 programmer's guide. They
can't ever seem to find any. 🙁
>> Did you ever manage to contact Jez San.
I haven't tried yet.

Theoretically, yes. But Nintendo would never license them to anyone. 😉
– Jim, on AutoPilot!
