Looks pretty good, except Exult isn't the Ultima 7 in Windows project... I think most of the team members would point that out vehemently, hehe.

Who cares about the other platforms :P
Actually I made the links page in haste and didn't think about what I was putting.

I liked the plan on that Mahjong site where they charge Windows users money. Not anyone else, just Windows users because the assumption is that (as Ignitus demonstrates) Windows users are stupid and don't know to use anything better, so why not charge a stupidity tax?

Of course it would probably get this site in hot water with You-know-who if they charged money for Windows binaries.

Hope you didn't mean that I'm stupid and therefore would use nothingbut windows. Infact I'd use other os's if all windows programs worked on them :)

Let's not insult people for what they use. At one time, my main computer had four operating systems (Dos, OS2, Win95, Linux) on it.

OS2 was my main OS starting around 1993-94 (when vers. 3.0 was released). We used it for internet access, and it was also good for playing most DOS games at the time (except, of course U7).

I remember spending HOURS trying to get U7 to run under OS2...
That was my only complaint about the operating system at the time. I cant remember correctly, but did'nt OS2 have its own file system?

OS/2 had (well, still has) its own file system, HPFS.

Of course, U7 would never run under OS/2, just as it would never run under Win95 without an extremely clever hack (u7run).

Would it be possible to write a u7run for OS/2?

U7run: No idea.

But it would definitely be possible to add OS/2 as a platform for SDL, and then port Exult to it. Trouble is, why bother?

Yeah, I dont think there is much call for an exult on OS/2...

HPFS: (High Preformance File System?) rings a bell now... seems so long a go...
