- ** Important Layout Notes **
-
- layout.gadget is a 68000 binary with V37 support code in it. This means that
- it will work on any machine with at least OS 2.04 in it. However, because
- Intuition V37 does not support some features layout.gadget uses, it has to
- kludge a few things. These kludges are contained within an OS version check,
- so they will not be used on a V39 machine. Obviously this can slow things
- down a bit. Please note the kludges are OS LEGAL and well tested.
-
- To rectify that, layout.gadget.020 is a 68030 optimised version that requires
- V39. It will refuse to work on a V37 machine. However, it WILL work on a 68020,
- regardless of being optimised for a 68030. Because it requires V39, it also
- uses Exec memory pool functions directly instead of the linked lib versions.
- This is another why it is faster.
-
- In short: if you have 68000 or 68010, OR if you have OS 2.04 or 2.1, you have
- to use layout.gadget. If you have 68020 or better and OS 3.0 or 3.1, you can,
- and should, use layout.gadget.020. The V37 version will work just like the V39
- version would, but it is a tad slower. You do want all the speed you can get,
- don't you?
