Ronald,
>> The real problem is Amiga Report relying on too many *optional*
programs and files being "there". Why wasn't there a click & read
"readme.first" file for telling the downloader what is and isn't needed.
I believe you hit the nail on the head with that observation; at least as
far as Amiga Report is concerned.
>> AmigaDOS 3.0 & 3.1, doesn't use AmigaGuide, instead it uses Multiview
equipped with an amigaguide datatype. The pre-3.x, Amigas didn't ship
with AmigaGuide, they needed to DL the program.
I have a decked-out A2000 running WB 2.1. I have tried to keep current.
It's not like I'm still trying to keep working with WB 1.3.
I presently have two AmigaGuide-format file reader. But they both suck.
No doubt I will continue trying readers until I find one I like. But I
want that to be at my convenience, not be forced to do this NOW, because a
newsletter briefly caught my interest.
>> (People who say cats always land on their feet…
just don't know how to throw them right.)
I am a cat person. May you rot in H**l <g>.
