- I run auto/neoload, then auto/mint; after that you *must* neodesk3 start
- from your desktop/out of mintshel.rc with mintshel started from the desktop.
- All other tries cause the messages: 'neodesk cannot find his path' and some
- memory error if you use the alternate Neodesk path. I found no solution
- yet. Neodesk3 has been launched more then a year ago, Dan Wilga seems to
- have changed to PC software as I was told from Mr.Flashman (Gribnif Pres.?)
- at the atari fair in Duesseldorf 1991 (!).

- This also happens with my installation; but only if you click to fast from
- one window to the other...

- This is normal as Neodesk hates PArtitions larger than 64MB :-(

-
- As Gribnif does not seem to develop Neodesk any longer (the German distributor
- Computerware Sender, Atari fair 1992, had obviously come to the same opinion)
- the only help is probably dropping Neodesk3 :-(((((
