My product, InterChange, had a bug that appeared with the introduction of AmigaDOS 3.0 and the A4000. It had to do with the proper method of deterimining the screen size. This was the only problem we had with AmigaDOS 3.0 and the A4000. Yes, if you're still running the same executable compiled under Manx that was made several years ago, you might be in trouble for any number of reasons: compiler improvements for OS compatibility, 32-bit clean code, etc. I'd bet $100 on the former as opposed to $1 on the latter. It's much more probable that you've got some problem with Intuition or AmigaDOS function calls than any problem with the compiler. No sensible compiler would have been tinkering with non-32-bit code, that's been an issue since the very beginning with the 68020. Do you still have the source code for your applications? It sounds like you do, or you wouldn't be considering a port to Windows. Hire an Amiga-head programmer and have them search for bugs…
