- I think this is a very good idea. I have some questions as well.
-
- 1. if you get MiNT (0.94) in binary form you find the mintshel.prg.
- It should be a shell. But when I try to do an ls, dir or pwd I
- always get the answer cmd exit with -33 or so.
- Do I need to get some utilities which should be put in a bin directory
- or is my configuration file of the shell wrong.
- 2. Did anybody use Pure C with the MiNT libraries, does this work.
