- I noticed articles about Re: MCP v1.10 and SwazBlanker, and I just had to reply
- thus:
-
- MMR>> get it to run in conjunction with SwazBlanker (which MCP claims
- MMR>> to support) reliably. I keep getting tons of "Recoverable Alert"
- MMR>> messages, and even a few crashes here and there.
-
- I have MCP (V1.10 dated 3 Feb 96) working perfectly with SwazBlanker *modules*.
- MCP doesn't use the actual Swazblanker program, only it's modules.
-
- You do need to set the preferences for the modules with Swazblanker (and save
- them to ENVARC:). This is fully explained in the MCP docs.
-
- Then you use MCP prefs to select the modules and away you go.
-
- As I said, it works perfectly here.

-
- Do not run Swazblanker again once you have set your module preferences.
