Betty< I typed the two commands you gave me and they were successful, however while they were loading they stopped because I didn't have enough me

I'm glad they were successful, Joan. For more memory – shut down everything that is running except those programs until you get things unpacked. Do you have at least 2M of memory? AutoPilot will not run with less. —Betty

Betty, PMFJI Joan is running an A1200. Have been following another thread where she is either running into memory or disk space problems (she does have the standard 2 MB chip and an additional 4 MB fast), so unless she has a whole whack of programs loading up at startup it looks like a HD space problem.

Thanks, Trent. I did not recall which system she was using. I suspect hard drive space is the trouble, then. We all have trouble keeping our hard drives cleaned up, don't we? —Betty

Ah, it is a chore <g>. The problem is I'm a packrat when it comes to applications. Stuff I've never used (or have used once or twice in the last six months) I let sit as I tell myself, 'Sure you've only used it once, but that does not mean you will not use/need it in the future'. My solution is to always get myself another bigger HD. <sigh> Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'

I have a huge box of C64 disks in a closet. I know that I'll never look at any of them again, but I cannot bring myself to toss them out. How's THAT for being a packrat? (I do still have a C64SX on which they *could* run, as well as a C128. I haven't used the C128 since QLink closed down in October, and it must be years since I turned on the C64SX.) —Betty

Betty, I have Amiga OS 1.0 & all sorts of stuff from 1985/6!!!! Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC

Me, too. In fact, I even have a few of the OS versions prior to 1.0, and some of the demo things that were going around before the Amiga actually was available. I keep far too many things of that sort! —Betty
