[...] re gemboot: the old version ( 1.06 ) gets in the way of MWC 2.0, but the interaction is all in the shell_p_ variable and this is easy to get around. The new version ( gemb1v10.arc ) is however also incompatible and bootfix.prg can't help. Any ideas out there? Further to this theme: hdb2.3 absolutely fouls things up for the MWC ramdisk utility. I have tried every combination and sequence of things I can imagine, and nothing seems to work. Any gurus out there who can help? Because I really do like the MWC idea of a 'frozen' ramdisk ready to install (already containing your choice of files). And I also like the idea of booting from something besides my pokey ol' floppy. But floppy boots it shall be, since C compiles without the ramdisk are only slightly preferable to visits to one's dentist :-) To change the topic slightly: many kudos to the authors of CAP. Nice stuff, gentlemen! ...!ihnp4!alberta!auvax!rwa Ross Alexander @ Athabasca University
