Could someone tell me exactly what MUI is/does? Is it commercial? Dave German 75601,3236 —> on Auto Pilot V1.80 from Fairbanks, AK

DG <<Could someone tell me exactly what MUI is/does? Is it commercial?>> Stefan Stuntz, didn't like the Amiga's GUI interface so he wrote an optional interface called Magic User Interface (MUI). To use the MUI, a program has to be coded to use MUI instead of a custom GUI or the Amiga's built-in GUI. As designed the MUI is configurable by the USER. If the user doesn't like the images used for the buttons, gadgets, text boxes, fonts, etc., the user is load in an optional set and save it as the system default (or just for a specific program). The MUI is shareware, a copyrighted program with the author expecting a fee, but with the option to try before you buy. You can download a copy from the libraries. Ron.

The problem, I might add, is that while the registration is listed in the file as something close to $20 US, none of the snail-mail sites appear to work, and Stuntz' CIS SWREG fee is a whopping $59.95!!! Other than that, I like parts of MUI. <G> Mr. Zombie

Paul, I believe you said at one time you were going to email Stuntz about the $59.95 registration fee for MUI on SWREG. I did and never received a response. Did you have any better luck? ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360

Michael- Nope. And frankly, I wish authors would stop supporting him because of it. Mr. Zombie

Stefan Stuntz address: <stuntz@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> He has answered all my queries, up to now. Rafa <Motorola Inside> from Berlin, thanks to AP1.80 >…olive oil is the way to go.<

Thanks, I'll try him at that address… although I think that's the one I used before. No way to tell though, since I lost my previous (huge) AP address book. Mr. Zombie
