DML - Running on Atari Jaguar

Today i've been able to succesfully complete the Atari Jaguar port of DML. It took a lot of effort to get it running, as there were no basic systems or libraries available for the Jaguar. After some pingponging back and forth with Charles Doty and the development of a memory manager and I/O routines, the port finally running.

While i didn't expect the port to run all that fluently on a 13mhz jaguar, it turns out the situation is much worse than i anticipated. The current framerate for the test program is about 2-3 FPS !!! :-( Very unusable indeed. I'll let the port be as it is for the moment, and will look into High Level Emulation (HLE) for some of the DML functions in the future.
