 |  Re: Who ported GEOS to plus/4?
I've tried some programming utilities, like an assembler that works with +4 version too. Not too bad if you don't care about the foreground colors. Being written without color managing, the screen does maintain the background of the icons from desktop.
If I'm not wrong it seems that GeoWrite works (and print?).
Returning to author matter, if situation was that one you suppose, that is that Oluf has made the convertion in order to sell it to M&T, this could be a fashinating case, because he surely has the deep knowledge of "inside" GEOS that we dream (and all the info and tools!).
It should be very interesting to contact him.
I think JamesC has made an attempt to contact him, some years ago but I don't remember how things went around.
However the copyright owner (Maurice R.) did allow official autorization to send a copy of GEOS +4 when any user can demonstrate to have a legal copy of GEOS 1.0 or 2.0 (for C64 then).
