I have been trying Mosaic to run with AmiTcp and ppp It dosn't seem to work. I have read the text file on the subject. when is somone going to realse a program that will easily be set up and execute so I can get into the WWW through compuserve. Is the professional AmiTcp 4.0 pro actualy work? I can get AMosaic no net to work on files on my hard drive. How can I get these programs to acess the net?

I hate to be a Rusty P <g> but I've loaded up InterInstall, PPP & AMITCP all seem OK, directories seem fine, I have a Shell "Internet" command that dials Compuserve and connects and doesn't error , and 2 Icons – "Internet" & "Stopnet" that seem to do similarly… What do I do next???? I s'pose I run Mosaic..do I do it via the Internet shell?? What version, where is best to put it?? Will it get me NewsGroup access too?? Any help welcomed, no churlishness in reply, I promise!

Dave, After you run the Internet icon you will get an little window in the upper left hand corner of WB. Then you can start AMosaic or any other program. Just click on the AMosaic icon. You can't run anything from the internet shell, it just lets you know it's running. Just put AMosaic any place you want and use the icon for it. The version of AMosaic you can run depends on your version of WorkBench. If you have 3.1 then you can use any version of AMosaic. If you have WB2.1 like me, then you will have to use AMosaic 1.2. I think all the versions are here in the libs. As to the Usenet news groups, I've tried that with Mosaic and found it way too slooooow. But yes, it can be done. Hope this helps…Good luck. PS.

Thanks Steve – this worked fine.. as long as I clicked on the MUI icon first. I cruise the Web..but mostly in character mode. Someone else said that to see the piccies you had to have the GIF or ZGIF datatype in Libs/datatypes. Well, in Libs: I have a file datatypes.library but in DEVS: I have a datatypes directory, containing the types for MultiView.. I've found ZGIF.lha and plan to download tonight Which of the two is the best destination??

Dave, > I've found ZGIF.lha Try ZGIFDT.LHA in library 13 from the AmigaArts forum. It will tell you where to transfer the files. Erich

As far as i know the datatypes go into your devs:datatypes/ dir. If that still doesn't work then try the other. Or, if you have plenty of space, try putting them in both. As for the MUI icon, i never have to click on it at all. Do you have MUI assigned in your user-startup file? It should be automatic if you used the install script that came with it. But as long as it works ok…:) Stephen…AutoPilot 1.80, Mosaic1.2, Gui-FTP, Gopher, ALynx, CD-Rom and three hard drives. All on one A500! E-Mail "savner@clubmet.metrobbs.com"

Dave, < Well, in Libs: I have a file datatypes.library but in DEVS: I have a datatypes directory, containing the types for MultiView.. I've found ZGIF.lha and plan to download tonight Which of the two is the best destination??> If I remember correctly, there are instructions in the archive that will make that clear, but mine is in DEVS:datatypes.
