- I have been using AMosaic2.0 for a week or two now on my Amiga
- 1200. Everything is working surprisingly well except for external
- viewing. I have visited several sites that should have displayed a
- picture or sound file, and nothing happened. AMosaic "said" that it
- was downloading the file, then opening the external viewer, but then
- nothing happens. I have read all of the docs on AMosaic at the
- AMosaic home site, and I have tried using the mailcap file with
- "Shunt" and with simply directing the output to Multiview. I do have
- all necessary datatypes properly installed in devs:dataypes. There is
- a sublte difference in the results between the two versions of the
- mailcap file. When I use "Shunt", absolutely nothing happens after
- AMosaic says that it is running the external viewer. When I comment
- the "shunt" lines out, and use the Multiview lines (with
- PUBSCREEN=AMosaic, which is the name of my AMosaic public screen in
- MUI), when AMosaic says that it's running the external viewer, the hard
- drive works like it's trying to load the picture or run MultiView, but
- then nothing happens. I've looked at other screens and for MultiView
- processes, and found nothing.
- I would be most grateful for any help or suggestions that
- anyone could give me! Thanks.
