Differences in versions
=======================
There are some differences between the official Ntimed and Ntimed for the
Amiga, mainly:
* poll server is not supported
* sim client is not supported
* python is not test nor supported
* NAT does not seem to work (FS-UAE)
* Regression test are not support
* Amiga OS 4 and Morph OS are not supported
These differences are mostly due to the way Amiga DOS accepts parameters.
Poll server and sim client might be released as independent executables.
Missing support for BSD NAT (or whatever you would like to call the UAE
implementation) is out of the scope for this application.
As the official Ntimed gets updated there will be issues merging new features
due to the heavy Amiga changes. Therefore do not expect the features of the
Amiga version to match those of the official Ntimed.
Lack of support for Amiga OS 4 and Morph OS are because of lack of development
and test environments. I do not have access to neither development machines nor
any machines to perform tests. Feel free to make your own version or to
contribute the required changes.
