- Since moving my office, I don't have the MUI info (FAQ) at my immediate
- disposal. My question is as follows:
-
- Is MUI switchable in the sense that it can be started and shut-down from
- AmigaDOS/Workbench?
-
- I ask this because I'm in (desperate) need of a web browser but not to
- the point of interfering with existing applications running under 2.1
- (A2000 and A3000) or 3.0 (A4000). So far, AWeb seems like the best
- (only) solution for my current requirements (until newer versions of
- productivity software, e.g. ProPage, ADPro, T-Rexx, Scala, DPaint, SBase,
- Studio16, etc., fully support 3.1 and/or MUI). [wishful thinking]
-
- However, since AT has apparently adopted MUI for their browser
- package(s), I'd like to know how MUI is integrated into the system...
-
- 1. I understand that MUI requires 3.1 and that 3.1 requires a new ROM.
- Could I install the 3.1 ROM and merely ADD a new bootable partition
- for 3.1 and still revert back to 3.0 under the 3.1 ROM?
-
- I need this capability as much of my productivity relies on applications
- which don't seem to run well under 3.1, according to reports read here.
-
- 2. Does MUI automatically boot with 3.1 or would I need a separate
- (bootable) partition to run 3.1 without any MUI "fingerprints"?
-
- 3. Does anyone know whether Gold Disk will resume Amiga development or is
- there a list of current/pending and never-to-be-seen-again developers?
