The problem is, a lot of people don't want to register MUI, because they don't like it. Unfortunately, a lot of almost essential programs do use it, and to get the best you need to register MUI as well; it's not exactly fair on the user that they should have to pay extra because of choices a software author has made.

The 80000004 is a dead end instruction and as you probably know the Amiga will reboot. For a more (slightly) indepth reason (if it will mean anything to you, it dos'nt to me) try GURU 3.02. My turn now. Does anyone know why, when I print from V3, or MicroDotII on my Epson Stylus Photo EX (which is a wide carriage printer) insists on printing over the width of A4 even though I have the preferences set to A4.

Make the developers pay if they use the system in their programs and it was free to users. Only thing I can see wrong with this is the lower number of registrations, although developers would be charged more. ------------------------------ message 46148 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=46148 Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2000 11:30:42 -0800 From: "Toffypops" X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Vital Horgan rulez...:D MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I kind of liked the Vital Horgan column in AF...

That's the whole point. You may not *want* it, but you *need* to use it for certain software. If it was an *option* with that software, rather than a requirement, then you could decide whether you *wanted* it or not. > It's no more of a bummer than having to buy OS3.5 if you want to run > software that uses its features... But OS3.5 upgrades and improves the whole system, rather than one part of it. Is MUI a *vital* component of the software that uses it? Last I checked, the OS came with a GUI built in. MUI just adds to the overall expense.

If you have a PCMCIA then get the Squirrel SCSI. Personally, it`ll be a lot cheaper to go down the IDE/Atapi route as its more widely available and peripherals are cheaper too.

Is this the same archive as Phase 5s? The libraries need to go into LIBS: The rest can go wherever you like. Some may need to run from WBStartup e.g. CyberPatcher.
