#Problems with supra.pch
4 messages in this thread
I went ahead and applied the "beta" patches for GPFax and all seems well.
I figured if it didn't work, I could just re-install the unpatched
version.
Hi,
From what I read, you really shouldn't experience much in the way
'problems' by applying the various patches around. The authors of GPFax are
quite active on Usenet/Internet and apparently are initially distributing
patches from there to various FTP sites. It is their software and they can
do what they terms of updating their product. This is not to say that the
pates meet Supra's specs tho. Supra simply stated on their BBS that the
current patches available do not bring GPFAX in exact accordance with the
new Supra ROM's and that Supra was working with the authors of GPFax to
bring about a patch that would do the job. If you look into Supra's file
base on their BBS, all GPFax patches seem to have been removed. I take this
to be a subtle cautionary warning from Supra. How anyone else might
interpret that action is strictly in the 'eyes of the beholder', so to
speak.

Hi,
There have been some questions concerning my warning about the various
patches around for GPFax software. Here are two of postings on Supra's BBS
(503-967-2444) from the SYSOPs (Tech Service Dept.) on there. Read into
them what you will, I'll take them as a caveat to avoid applying the
patches for now.

Supra has not yet received a completed, non-Beta, patch to update the Supra
verison (2.01s) of GPFAX. We are waiting for it, and will post it to the
Amiga FILE section here when it is available.
