I understand you only have the resources for the linux version, but

their Windows machines.
Just like to add, on top of this, I'm happy to try to keep it
building/working on PPC Mac OS X/Linux. I can get the src from svn
to build and run on big-endian ppc mac os x/linux, however there
are still a few endian issues - for instance, it's obvious the
vidc20 emulation isn't entirely endian-safe and HostFS fires off
asserts().
Hmm. I must also declare a vested interest in Mac OS X, although I
wasn't going to say anything. I guess that a 'worst case' option for
some Mac/Windows users would be to have a Linux installation in a
Virtual Machine? (mind you, I'm on an iMac G4, so I can't!)
Chris, I recall that you experimented with a PPC RPCEmu some time
ago. Have you seen the stuff by Jon Welch?

It looks like he hasn't touched it for a while. I don't know if any
of his changes were submitted back into svn.
I must admit that my main interest is in Arculator, purely for retro-
gaming nostalgia. RPCEmu is something I would find useful, so I
could have a 'usable soft copy' of my Risc PC.
