I'm typing up a newsletter entry and for now I just need an URL to point to. If anybody arrives here and sees this unencouraging message, don't sweat it! Jamie will be along shortly to tell you something good about DROD and FreeBSD.

Just when I thought it was safe, real life gets in the way again

Anyway, I've now got a working binary (from the latest source code) that will be ready to test once I get it bundled into an 'install pack' - hopefully I'll have something to post here within the next few days! (Incidently, I've kept my changes local for now, once the beta is released, I'll sort out getting them commited)

So you want to race Weston to see who gets done first? Loser has to port DROD to a Commodore Vic-20.

Cor that brings back memories. I was 12, and had my ZX81, then not long after my mate got a vic-20 with colour and everything!! I was dead jealous!

Huh? Shouldn't that read "Winner gets to..."?

I've seriously considered a C64 port, actually. I even did some gfx for it. But then, I'm clearly insane.

Anyway, jamie, the Loki installer has support for multiple architectures, so if you can do a FreeBSD build of the setup executable, we could put the Linux and FreeBSD executables in the same installer, and it'd install the right executable automagically. You like ?

Ooooh right, that would be handy.

I have a number of thoughts relating to this, and other installation issues, but if you don't mind, I'll post it in a new thread so as to stop this one going a bit too far off topic even before the 'on topic' posts have started
