(for example, the windows version doesnt support rs232 emulation, which the linux port does [even if it doesnt work, which is another story]) as for rr-net ... its even a quite "interisting" solution in the win port .... using some 3rd party program to be able to hook into the systems networking (instead of implementing a common interface and a lowlevel device driver). whats most disturbing with all that is that appearently none of the vice team really cares about making all features available across all platforms, nor about fixing problems that are known for ages (like the rs232 emulation beeing broken since vice >1.4, the autostart bugs, the filerequester issues in linux, etcetcetc)...hmpf gpz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
