Chris, thank you so much for your hard work! I just downloaded it and will test it on my A4000 - '060 with RTG graphics. I will report back any issues.

Oh... It uses Reaction so it needs 3.5 or 3.9 to work. I understand. I can use it on my WinUAE session and A1200, but my AmigaOS 3.1.4 is out of the question. Bummer. I was looking forward to using it on my fast machine.

If you got access to OS3.9 files there is a nice 'trick' to keep ReAction stuff separated from the OS3.1.4 install. Here for instance I'm 'abusing' SYS:Expansion for that. Expansion is normally not used for these kind of things, but I don't see any strange effects and you can use whatever place you want as an assign is used also. These are the contents of SYS:Expansion/ReAction here:

Code: [Select]
11.Ram Disk:> SYS:Expansion/ReAction/
11.System:Expansion/ReAction> list ALL

I added the middle line in below snippet to my Startup-Sequence:

Code: [Select]
Assign >NIL: LIBS: SYS:Classes ADD
Assign >NIL: LIBS: SYS:Expansion/ReAction ADD
Assign >NIL: HELP: LOCALE:Help DEFER

As 'bonus' also Tools/UnArc works from 3.9

This is great! I was going to move over my old 3.9 install and "update" it - this will save me a lot of trouble! You, my friend, are a lifesaver!
