- On the TT you put mint.prg in the auto directory and the config file
- (mint.cnf) in the root directory. This works fine for me. Make sure that the
- config file is correct for your system.
-
- Both Gulam and C-kermit (version 5A-Beta) work fine for me. (By the way, yet
- another of my ongoing projects is a port of C-Kermit for MiNT without it
- being as (unnecessarily) emasculated as the TOS version from Columbia.)

- PS. Most of the time I don't run GEM under MiNT, I just run MiNT with my
- init(8) package... my machine looks more like a Unix-box than an a Atari
- ST/TT :-).
