I don't know if you know this already, but... Red Squirrel / VA did the same thing. Graeme knocked-up a 'dummy' Internet module which replaced the official RISC OS one. I tried an early beta, and it was extremely effective. I think some purists felt that the 'proper' way forward for a machine emulator was to emulate the hardware (so it would even work in Linux, NetBSD or RISC iX) but realistically, it's not worth it. I bet it hasn't cost Virtual Acorn any sales! _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
