UQM on XP
« on: November 19, 2002, 02:53:44 pm »
Hey all!

I'm new to these forums, and I have to say I'm ECSTATIC about this project!  I wish I knew enough coding to help!  Ah well...  I'd just like to ask a couple things:

1) how exactly is this program going to run in the XP environment?  are you guys trying to make it run natively, or are you planning on using some sort of emulator?  If so, what kind?  my version of XP at least has no DOS emulator, go fiugre...

2) How do I go about becoming a Beta tester for this wonderful project?

Thanks!

It runs natively everywhere, that's the point of the whole port Smiley Everyone can be a some kind of beta tester by playing our in-progress releases or CVS versions and reporting new problems not mentioned in the TODO list at our Technical Issues board, and so on. Though currently there's so much different things still not finished that we developers can produce a large amount of bug reports ourselves.
