- I use a MultiUserFS environment on my Amiga, and up until
- recently only one of the users used AMosaic. Then my girlfriend
- got bitten by the websurfers lust and I tried to use it. Text
- worked ok, but Images crashed SEVERELY! After copying the right
- files to the env: directory (each user can have his own env:) we
- still had the same crashes.
-
- The solition was very simple, but VERY hard to find. In the
- password fil for AmiTCP the names of the directories did not end
- with a '/' (slash). This cause AMosaic to believe they were
- devicenames and it hadled it poorly.
-
- It says clearly in the docs for AmiTCP that the directorynames
- MUST enf with a ':' (colon) or a '/' (slash), so it was of cource
- my own fault.
-
- A bit of a tick, though. My girlfriend going: "Oooh, is this all
- your Amiga can do..." Well, I finally satisfied her need...
