Try running the pagesize program _before_ installing VMM to make sure you _and_ the installer want a certain page size. It _should_ be 4. If you choose the wrong page size, GURU! Or if you don't have MUI, etc. A read thru the docs told me I had screwed up…

Holy Freakin' Cows!!!! What did I start? Yo, guys! I believed I posted the answer a few days ago. The problem turned out to be that 'muimaster.library' was in my LIBS: instead of the MUI/LIBS drawer. MUI was looking for a library that simply wasn't where it was supposed to…
