Hi Zac,
Okay, I have some questions:
-First, your age (just as a reference) :)
-How are you planning to attack the project?
-What type of modeling technoque are you employing on this project?
-What issues have you identified that must be worked through?
-Do you currently have any experience cobbling up "virtual machines"?
-How exactly are you planning to address binary compatibility with Palm
executables?
-How will you handle screen and sprite I/O on the Newton?
-How does the memory utilization model differ from the Palm to the Newton?
Are ther conflicts or problems in memory addressing identified?
-Since there is no pure C or C++ environment on the Newton, do you have a
division established on what needs to be coded in C or Assembler and what
needs to be coded in NewtonScript?
-Do you currently have extensive experience in NewtonScript? In C? In
StrongARM Assembler?
-Do you have a team working on this? If so, who are they and what are their
backgrounds related to the questions above?
I know of several "virtual machines" in existence, and most were
non-trivial, even at the lowest OS level, much less with a graphic UI with
pen input. So I'm curious regarding your approach to the issue and the
resources being brought to bear in solving this issue.
Regards,
Gary
BTW: What exactly is ZAC, Inc.? Public or Private? Market Capitalization?
Number of employees?
