- Hi Scott,
-
- this is an old problem: NeoDesk refuses to start if MiNT is active.
- Having MiNT 0.94 installed, you could start Neodesk in the following way:
- - start MiNT in the Auto folder
- - start GEM from MINT.CNF (last line = #INIT= )
- - start mintshel as an AUTO application
- - start Neodesk from mintshel.rc by the last lines:
- cd $NEODESK # here lives Neodesk
- neodesk.exe # not neoload.prg !!!
-
- But this does not work with MiNT 0.95 !!!
- You have to initialize MiNT, GEM, your environment (by mintshel) and then return
- to the normal desktop. Now you will be able to start Neodesk as application.
-
- Strange, but this method forks fine for me...
-
- BTW: I am thinking of replacing Neodesk by GEMINI if no new Neodesk version
- is launched on the atari fair in Duesseldorf as last year...
-
- greetings Bernhard
