- A little late but this is what should help:
-
- Improv is using the 'default database' for environment that every NeXT
- machine keeps. If you type
-
- dread -o Improv
-
- in a shell window you will get all the settings that Improv uses in addition
- to the model information. One line in your database should read
-
- Improv enableOakumPort YES
-
- which specifies that the usage of the API is enabled. If you can't find it
- or 'enableOakumPort' is set to 'NO' type
-
- dwrite -o Improv enableOakumPort YES
-
- to set it accordingly.
