Title: Multiview Headache
Post by: icbrkr on February 01, 2004, 10:39:16 PM

I have an Amiga 1200 running WB 3.1 on a KS 3.0 ROM (this is on my "need to upgrade" list).  I've recently the OS reinstalled on another partition, and evertime I fire up Multiview, it allows me to read the document, but then when I try to close it, it crashes with a #8000000B.  Ideas?  I'm not sure where to go from here.

There are some incompatibilities with the datatypes Multiview uses between versions 3.0 and 3.1 of the OS if I recall correctly. I'd use a v3.0 Workbench until you replace the ROMs if I were you. Or maybe just copy the datatypes and related libraries from the v3.0 Workbench disk over the 3.1 install, I haven't experimented with that but I suppose it could be worth a shot?

Sounds like a plan to me... off to install 3.0 :)

I think you will definently need to have the same versions for Kickstart and Workbench

Are the documents animations? I remember there were huge changes in the animation code between those versions - 3.1 was alot less buggy

Looks like you guys were right.. WB 3.0's Multiview works fine.  Now it looks like I really do need to buy a KS 3.1 ROM chip :)

Thanks!

What were you doing with Workbench 3.1 but not the Kickstart?? :-?

Simple.. when I got the Amiga from a friend a year or so ago, I received both 3.0 and 3.1.  Thinking "bigger is better", I went for the 3.1 install.

I didn't know that this was possible. :-?

Now I have no business preaching Amigism to my friends.
