- As it happens I am running this on a TT with TOS 3.06. Sorry, I have
- been posting about it quite a bit, I keep forgetting how hard it is to mentally
- link posts together.
-
- With just MiNT loaded, (no control panels, or anything) I should be
- able to run, from the desktop, one .prg, right? I can't unless I autoboot a
- .prg first (using the autoboot option in Install Applications - I have not been
- able to successfully INIT=TCSH.ttp at all)...well, I haven't tried the autoboot
- thing with anything but Connect but I don't see that that should make much
- difference...I'll try another .prg just in case. However, once I have quit the
- autobooted program, I notice that I get malloc:outofmemory every time I open a
- window, like looking at c: or d:, but it works ok anyway (I can read the
- directory, etc.). In fact, I get malloc errors whenever I open a window within
- CoNnect. :(
-
- I'm at a loss.
-
- BTW, I haven't heard a word from Eric Smith. I guess he's still
- settling in at Sunnyvale. :) Well, hopefully I can get some help from him
- soon if someone here on the net doesn't fix my problems first.
