Title: WHDLoad 16.6 Released
Post by: adolescent on June 09, 2006, 03:11:44 AM: WHDLoad (the ultimate HD-Installer for OS-Killer) 16.6 has been released.

New/Changes:

*** 16.6 (05.06.2006)
   - fix:   no more enforcer hits (byte read from adr 0) on directory cache preload on FFS filesystems (Christian)
   - upd:   italian documentation is in sync again, thanks David Bergantin for updating it
   - upd:   small enhancement for HrtMon to print out expmem boundaries
   - fix:   no longer complains about missing ENV: assign
   - fix:   bus/address error messages on 68000 corrected
   - fix:   the message returned on interrupted resload functions did have the same name for both functions, this has been corrected
   - chg:   argument checking for resload functions improved, now the current stack can not be overwritten by resload functions (size of reserved stack space is 64 bytes)
   - new:   command GA added to resload_Patch/Seg to get a address and store it inside a variable in the slave
   - fix:   modify at ExpMem via resload_Patch works again, was permitted in version 16.5
   - chg:   kickemu improved, compiles with PhxAss and AsmOne again, new switch NO68020 for kick31.s to get 68000 compatible code, patches to the kickstart added to avoid overwriting the vector   table, this allows WHDLoad to catch exceptions also on 68000 (Don Adan)
   - new:   greek translation of documentation, thanks to Dimitris Panokostas of ATO

Registration is WORTH the money, you are supporting a fantastic piece of software, one piece of software on the ever diminishing list of amiga software.

Registering gives the author more incentives to develop it further. I have my own key, And it arrived swiftly.

Post by: boing on June 10, 2006, 08:49:21 PM: This is one of my complaints about the Amiga developers market now. They don't have a clue how to market let alone describe their product.

Sure we've all see mentioned of the program's name.

But you never see a clear description of what the software does besides let you install certain games on your HD.

I can't emphasize this enough. Every press release about your product, and the top of you web page (IE., a link) should provide a clear description of what your product does. It's marketing 101.

Post by: WuduFrumm on June 15, 2006, 09:33:22 AM: WHDLoad let's you install certain games on your HD, that IS the description of what WHDLoad is doing. Also, what's this marketting talk about? WHDLoad is made by a bunch of people who are doing it for fun, the money for the registration is used for running the website and not for profit.
