- DOpus and FTP:{p}
- Magellian handles FTP quite well but one little thing they left out that
- would make it perfect for Aminet: ADT. Well, until they decide to add
- that here's something you can try. Use HTTPLister; the latest version
- will get the RECENT file and then list it in order of date. You just
- click each you want and then press the buttonto get it. It even handles
- Readmes. This little gem can be found on Aminet under biz/dopus.

- MUI Crashes:{p}
- I use a lot of MUI apps when I'm on Internet, several on their own MUI
- screen, and a night doesn't go by when I don't crash at least once-
- usually screen lock-up. Well, just an obervation from all those crashes
- I've been through; the lock ups seem to not onlky occur only on MUI
- custom screens but {italics}because{noitalics} of them. Solution:
- either run graphics intensive apps like browsers on the WB screen, or
- find one of those make-your-own-public-screen utilities and see which
- one works well with your MUI apps.

- Birdie and Graphics:{p}
- Birdie's great or ice looking windows borders but before you go listing
- those jpegs in the prefs, remember that only a narrow strip of it will
- ever be shown along the borders and titel bar. This being true, you
- might as well as save a little memory and crop down your selected
- patterns (use any good image processing program) to just what you'll
- need for your window borders then save them out to a separate (now much
- smaller) picture file for ue with Birdie.

- Zorro and the A4000:{p}
- In answer to some recent mailing list posts, SCSI will work on the A4000
- but only if the Buster Chip version is of revision 11. Earlier versions
- (revision 9) had a bug that didn't make them work properly. Of course.,
- this only applies to controllers hooked up via the Zorro-III interface;
- SCSI controllers that don't use the Zorro bus are no problem.
