degac, my point is that all these things should come from the language vendor, not from the community, and they should be commercially supported - with a roadmap.
I also have a hunch that there might be more Mac/Linux users for BlitzMax than Windows users or at least that users of those systems are much more interested in it that the Windows folks, who are more likely to stay with Blitz 3D anyway and use Visual Basic.NET or C#.NET for application development. BlitzMax' only real competetion on OS X and GNU/Linux is Realbasic, and that is its opportunity. On Windows, its position is entirely different.
John Galt, ok, if this is for Blitz 3D users, then forget what I've said. They're probably only interested in game technologies, and that is where there is a huge difference between them and many BlitzMax users.
