You have to install it. What you describe is just typing a command in the CLI and then rebooting; effectively undoing what you have loaded in the CLI.

Read the manual on how to install AfA.

There is an installer script, did you use it?

I have also tried this, but get horrible crashes, does anyone have a WinUAE config that works for AfA?

There is an installer script, but it is not so complicated to install manually.  Just copy the new libraries somewhere (such as a subfolder in LIBS:), then edit your s:user-startup to add the necessary assign and loader.

Or just use AmiKit. ;)

Hi,

To get AFA working you need to do the following

Copy freetype.library and oop.library to libs:

Copy morelibspace and AFA_OS_Loader to C:

Copy the other AFA files somewhere. In Amikit this is Utilities/Expansion/AFA_OS

Add the following lines to s:startup-sequence

C:morelibspace

According to the docs this needs to be before SetPatch but I've never got it to work unless this is the 1st line.

And add the following lines after the call to C:AddDataTypes

Assign >NIL: AfA_OS_Libs: S:Utilities/EXPANSION/AfA_OS/AfA_OS_Libs
C:AfA_OS_Loader

Note it may be wise to enable only 1 module at a time as I have had a lot of problems with the various versions that cause the system to hang.

To enable \ disable a module remove it or add it to AFA_OS_Libs:

If anyone knows how to get it to work on a real Amiga without having to boot with no startup sequence and then execute s:startup-sequence, please let me know as it's driving me nuts
