1. Qnx vs LINUX? Say it ain't so, David!
Whats going on David? You are/were? our cross platform WxWindows champion.
Is Qnx a Unix clone? Will it run Euphoria? If not can euphoria be ported by
rds fairly easily? Is WxWindows available for Qnx? Is gnu C available on
Qnx?
Don't know much about operating systems...... but wasn't there some mention
by some one on the list about V2? Wouldn't that be the size/speed euphoria
portability choice?
Say it ain't so, David......... please

I still am, don't worry.

Yes and no. It's a proprietary microkernel thingy. Fully buzzword compliant.
> Will it run Euphoria?
Maybe. There's *supposed* to be a routine that converts Linux code to run
under QNX. It's not guaranteed, but it probably would work. Of course,
Robert would have to run the converter, since it's wouldn't be able to
convert a packed executable.

Probably, but there are probably licensing issues for commercial software. I
haven't seen the fine print.

There was supposed to be support via MGL, but that appears to have stalled.

Yes, it comes with it.

Not by me.
