If you are a Free Pascal programmer that landed here but never heard of MorphOS before, then you might have a few questions. This page tries to answer some of those questions in a somewhat organized matter.

== What is MorphOS ? ==

MorphOS is an Amiga-like Operating system, capable of running on classic Amiga (with expansion) and/or dedicated PowerPC hardware. It is a modernized upgraded version of the classic Amiga 3.x operating system.

== What is the relation between MorphOS and Amiga ? ==

MorphOS is one of the successors of the Amiga Operating System and as such has API compatibility.

== What license does MorphOS use ? ==

MorphOS is a proprietary closed source Operating System which requires a license that can be purchased from the [//www.morphos.de/ MorphOS website].

== What hardware does MorphOS support ? ==

There is a fair amount of hardware available that is capable of running MorphOS, although restricted (red: find/use a more positive word) to a PowerPC processor. MorphOS can also be run inside an emulator such as winUAE or inside virtualization software such as Qemu (red: was that proven to work ? is it available for normal end-users ?).

For more information regarding supported hardware, please see [//www.morphos.de/hardware this page].

== Where can I find/download MorphOS ? ==

The MorphOS website can be found [//www.morphos.de/ here], and there is a time-limited demo of MorphOS available [//www.morphos.de/downloads here]. The time related restrictions can be lifted by purchasing a license.
