Hi Richard! :)
I asked Don Cox at AmigaOS4 ML about this. The animosity between
Berny & Hyperion goes back to WOA'01. It appears Ben Hermans killed the
Amithlon connection between Amiga Inc. and H&P. I don't follow Amiga
history that much, but punishing the 'golden goose' for the king's poor
vision wasn't a good idea for Amigalot.
I can understand why he is imbittered. BTW, '68K->PPC JIT' has a
serious cache bug he hasn't solved yet.

Bernd Meyer recently posted on a public forum that he won't release his "*mostly* debugged" 68k->PPC JIT until AOS4 is released because he doesn't want Hyperion to benefit from his code.
I don't quite buy that argument. Perhaps we could write a persuasive letter
to let someone on this list gleam his code? Richard?
That doesn't seem a valid reason because AmigaOS4 already has a working 68k->PPC JIT compiler. And if it the reason, then he probably wouldn't share any code with me, since I have been involved OS4.0 development. ;-)
Cheers, Rich
