- Of course this does not work, because the application calls amigaguide
- library (or datatype when using OS3.0) directly.

- Yes, right, amigaguide.library does not support it. But you can go around
- this problem...

- I see two possibilities: Either you use PP (PowerPacker Patcher) which is
- unstable on my system (A4000/040, OS40.68), or another similar program.
- The other possibility would be using MCP with Packer Patch (supports
- Powerpacker, XPK, Stonecracker, Imploder, CrunchMania)
