Hope someone can help me with Shapeshifter. I downloaded both the original and the update and have tried to use it. I get a message that Shapeshifer ROM is corrupted or not available. 1. where can I get the ROMs for Shapeshifter ?? Can I use the ROM image I have for the Emplant ? 2. All the read mes are in some other language than English. I can only speak english and profane. Been having to use the latter quite a lot lately <G> How do I get some docs in english ?? Thanks in advance Best Regards G.E. "OB" O'Brien Pensacola, Florida

"1. where can I get the ROMs for Shapeshifter ?? Can I use the ROM image I have for the Emplant ?" From an actual Mac. You transfer the program "SaveROM" that comes with SS over to a Mac. After executing the program, it dumps a ROM image file to the Mac that you transfer back to the Amiga. "2. All the read mes are in some other language than English." The docs are there in AmigaGuide format. Look for a file called ShapeShifter_E.guide, with the E indicating English <g>. I think even the README's are written in both German and English on the same file. // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

The "readme" file is in English, if you downloaded v. 2.0 from CIS. (You're still talking about Shapeshifter, right? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility

Marion; < <The "readme" file is in English, if you downloaded v. 2.0 from CIS. (You're still talking about Shapeshifter, right?>> I downloaded SHPSFT20.LHA and SS20K2.LHA My read-me is in german. Another possible problem is I don't have "AmigaGuide" so I think that may be why I am not able to run the demo. Guess I need to look into that first. Thanks for your help, I appreciate the concern.

The first half of your readme file is in german. The second half is in english. And you can find AmigaGuide in the AmigaUser libraries. Rafa <Motorola Inside> from Berlin, thanks to AP1.80 >…olive oil is the way to go.<

I don't get it…my readme file is all in english. I downloaded V.2.0 just a week or so ago…maybe changes have been made recently. Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility

It tells you in the guide files and the newer readme what the german names stand for,so it doesn't matter

Look at the second half of the README. jsaklad@welchlink.welch.jhu.edu . . JimDoc, on AutoPilot

Well, I'm confused. I downloaded SHPSFT20.LHA from this forum (emulators section), and the README is in English, as is the order form. There are some german and italian files in the Catalogs directory. There are AmigaGuide files in both German and English. (Btw, you can read an AmigaGuide file with an ascii text reader, it's just a little confusing.) Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
