It is fairly nice from a preservation perspective.
And a shame that software this old hasn't been released as open source by its owners, thus this cannot be used in any meaningful way.
- sosodev 4y agoThe author of this port has written about how it was done. They have found enough debug data to do a full decompilation I think.
- snvzz 4y agoYes, I have read the link in the top of the readme in the repo about the methodology. It is fairly cool. Still, it is unrelated to Open Source, which isn't about having source code or the like, but about licensing. OSI's Open Source definition is more or less the same as GNU's four freedoms.

- snvzz 4y agoYes, I understand this is all done w/o the original code owners' permission. It is sad we have to walk on eggshells with code from the 80s. Copyright terms really are a mess.
