-
- We are aware of the following problems (for which we are not responsible
- and for which we do not know a good work-around) with GEMINI 1.1:
-
- - GEMINI as autostart program under TOS 1.4: There are sometimes problems
- with accessories after exiting GEMINI. Also the VDI sometimes gets its
- workstations mixed up (This is a VDI bug!!).
-
- - A few programs do not run or do not run correctly under GEMINI for unknown
- reasons to us. To these programs belong e.g. FOMA, VIP Professional and
- SBREAK. If anybody has some ideas about this, please let us know.
-
- - All programs which follow the Mark-Williams C extended arguments standard
- have problems with Atari's ARGV method, because they are slightly
- different. The work-around is simple: use the X:N option in $PRGNAME_EXT.
- To these programs belong e.g. Uniterm and Flash.
-
- - When Mupfel is started by shell-escape from TOS programs (mostly editors
- like Z or MicroEMACS) then there are problems with the screen in GEM
- programs started afterwards from Mupfel. The only remedy we know is:
- DON'T DO IT!
- If you absolutely need to do this then you should install these programs
- such that all windows are closed at the program start. This will not
- solve the whole problem. To solve it we need to know for each process in
- the chain of parent processes if they are TOS or GEM programs.
- As far as we know there is no legal way to obtain this information.
-
- - Tip for users of Turbo-C 2.0: To use the shell function you have to start
- TC from Mupfel or GEMINI. You should define "mupfel" as an alias for "sh"
- before starting TC.
