I recently downloaded "ShowDT" a file to view varous files (GIF, JPEG, etc.) When I try to load the file my system tells me, "Unable to open graphic library version 39." First off, why can it apparently not open it, and, second, where can I find a replacement file in the event it is defective. What would that file be called? —Speeding along at 14400 via AutoPilot Lou Yurcsak

What version of AmigaDOS do you have? Library version 39 means 3.0. ex

2.1, I'm starting to wonder, reading your reply , and another. Does ShowDT require OS 3.xx? —Speeding along at 14400 via AutoPilot Lou Yurcsak

ShowDT requires that you have datatypes (that's what the DT means). Datatypes are a feature of 3.x. -sja

LY >>the file my system tells me, "Unable to open graphic library version 39."<< The 'graphics.library' is stored in the KickStart ROM(s). It is the library that interfaces the OS to the graphic chips. Since ShowDT is asking for version 39.xx, it is asking for at least Kickstart v3.0. You will have to upgrade your computer's OS to get the updated library. Ron. – ("I'm not stupid, I'm not expendable, and I'm not going!" – quote made by any low level RPG player.)

Thanks, Ron. If that is the case, I'll do without ShowDT. 2.1 has been fine so far. —Speeding along at 14400 via AutoPilot Lou Yurcsak
