I have just downloaded Term 4.2 and installed it on my hard disk. When I try to run it, I get the error message "Failed to open GTDISPLAY.LIBRARY" despite the fact that this file is (as per instructions) in the same directory as Term. All suggestions appreciated.

Try putting gtdisplay.library in your libs: directory. Steve

Steve, Thanks. As the other Steve pointed out, the file is called GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY.I tried putting it in libs, but it made no difference. The small text file which accompanies term says that GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY must be in the same directory as term. I have TERM 4.0, also with GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY (different version) and that runs ok> Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium

Peter, Make sure you did NOT change the case of the file gtlayout.library (the Capital and lower case letters)…in the case of library files, it IS important…if not capitalized exactly the way it was when you got it, it won't load properly! Don

On occassion I run Term 4.2 … I don't have any gtdisplay.library. I do have a gtlayout.library and it is in libs:. -sja

Steve, You are right, of course, I should have said gtlayout.library! (I got some of the letters right. <g>). I did put it in libs: just to make sure, although the small text file in the archive stresses that it should be in the same directory as term, but it still doesn't work. I have TERM 4.0, which also has a GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY in the same directory, and that works. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium

Library names are case sensitive. Make sure you didn't change it from the original archive.

Peter, Have you tried copying "GTDISPLAY.LIBRARY" to LIBS:? If not give that a try, observing the exact case of the spelling in case the library is case-sensitive. Christopher

Christopher, Thanks. A small error on my part. The file is called GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY. I tried it in libs: but it made no difference. A text file in the archive stresses that gtlayout.library must be in the same directory as Term. I have TERM 4.0, which also has a gtlayout.library in the same directory, and that works.

Pete, did you assign TERM: to the directory where it resides? cu, Joachim Sondermann-Bieker on Amiga AutoPilot 1.75 from Cologne, Germany
