Can anyone help me out with AMosaic2? I can't seem to set a temporary disk area for the decoding of GIFs prior to display. I get a brief message that says "Can't find temporary file area – serious problem" or some such, and then the program fills my Chip Ram until the system crashes. I'm also finding the system incredibly slow – much slower than AMosaic 1.2. I'm running OS 3.1 on an A2000 with Commodore 030, four Meg of fast ram and one Meg of chip ram, and accessing through AmiTCP3.0b demo version. I have a registered copy of AmiTCP Version 4, but cannot make the install routines work for me. I do have IINSTI15, but that is only configured for access via CIS or US service providers, and not my UK service provider. I also have AMPREFS, but this does not seem to make provision for the GIF decoding thing. Any help much appreciated. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
