-
- (1) "Multi-AES" refers to the multitasking AES (version 4.0) distributed
- with MultiTOS
- (2) You can't get it because it's copyrighted by Atari and Digital Research,
- and it hasn't been released yet. When it is released, you may have to pay
- for it.
- (3) You should comment out -DMULTITOS because with it, the default is to
- try to boot C:\MULTITOS\GEM.SYS, rather than the AES in ROM; and
- also because -DMULTITOS disables the debugging code.
- (4) Finally, if you're on a 68030 machine and wish to run the ROM AES,
- you'll need to disable memory protection, either by starting MiNT with
- a "-m" argument, or by recompiling with "no_mem_prot" defaulting
- to 1.

- Hmmm... not 5 lines, but I hope you don't mind :-).
