- already know of a few just by browsing thru the newsgroups but it sure is
- confusing. Ive even tried setting up a few e.g. MUI,Amitcp,Amosaic,Aweb etc. but
- every time i click on an icon to start the program, either i get an error or
- nothing happens. For example, i want to make sure i have MUI set up properly. I get
- this file MUI from local BBS, I uncompress it into a drwr and then i click on
- install. After, i click on icon called MUI but i get errors 'Fail to create Application'
- How does MUI,Amitcp,Amosaic tie with each other?Is there anything out there that
- only has one compressed file with everything already set up in it?BTW, I also tried
- Aweb. I had no problem installing it and running it. But i think you need Amitcp/ip
- for it and i cant get Amitcp to work(I dont even know if im running it properly)
- To make a long story short, is there anybody that can help me or explain in rookie
- terms what i need to get an internet setup for my Amiga? Any replies would be much
- appreciated.
