Actually, there's no reason that C= couldn't implement the Amiga O/S as an NT subsystem. That's something most people don't understand about NT. NT itself is actually just a kernel, hardware abstraction layer, security, and other services. Win32 is a subsystem of NT, as is POSIX, and any other higher level OS you might want to include. When you run Win16 programs on a RISC box running NT, what happens is that your 16 bit Intel binary is run in emulation on whatever RISC processor you are using. C= would simply have to write a 68k emulator, and then place the Amiga OS on top of that (or go ahead and recompile to native RISC code for whatever processor they use). You could have a single box that could run Amiga apps, Windows apps, and other NT subsystems all at the same time. Charlie
