- I had this problem. I attended to two points and my problem went away.
-
- 1. Though I had 6Mb of free ram, a friend told me "AMosaic can easily
- fill 6Mb", so I changed the work dir to a hard disk partition
- which has about 100Mb free. I've no idea how much space it actually
- uses.
-
- 2. I ensured that the work dir prefs entry ended in a slash "/"
-
- So here is my line in Env:mosaic/prefs
- TempDir Dev:Mosaic-work/
-
- One of the problems I had with setting up AMosaic was the lack of
- coherent docs. There were small doc files in html format which I
- couldn't read easily without using Mosaic. But I couldn't run Mosaic if
- AmiTCP wasn't running. But I couldn't start AmiTCP without connecting to
- my ISP. And I didn't know how to fetch the more extensive docs without
- knowing how to run AMosaic. It's a chicken & 2 eggs situation. Took me
- a week to sort it all out with help from others.
