6. Precautions for machines which are version 1.2 or earlier:
People using version 1.3 and higher can ignore this section. There are no
problems whatsoever on their versions.
There are no problems if you use a software upgrade to 1.3. If you haven't
already upgraded then YOU MUST! If only because the rendering of text is so much
faster and you get a shell.
WARNING:
On version 1.2 if you try iconizing ram: the programme can start iconizing df0:
instead. This seems to be due to a bug in the early AmigaDOS.
I think this is because ram: is known to the system as "Ram Disk:"
which unfortunately has a space in it. There is no danger of any data being
destroyed, you just may end up with a whole load of icons you dont want. This
problem can be solved by placing ICON_TOOLBOX in the directory you wish to
iconize. Also try doing a minimal iconization first eg only iconize directories
and do not enter subdirectories. Finally write protect your disks until you feel
confident.
