- There is a possibility that Mops 2.2 may not run off a floppy. It seems to
- work on my system, but there is a loophole which may cause trouble on some
- systems.
-
- (This just applies to Mops itself, not to installed applications which should
- be OK).
-
- If this happens to you, you can fix it with a change to the word RUN in the
- file Frontend, in the folder "System source". The new version of RUN is:
-
- : RUN 0 -> pause sysinit load: windowMod run_FE
- ['] (pause) -> pause ;
-
- You then need to recompile the system above the nucleus, according to the
- instructions in my previous posting.
-
- BTW, in future releases of Mops I may not include all the binaries in the
- release, to save download time, since the package is now so big. In other
- words, the procedure for compiling the system above the nucleus will probably
- become the normal practice. It's not hard to do (I hope you all agree!!)
-
- Cheers, Mike.
