HTMLview.mcc for OS3 is hosed! Can't run AmRSS!

[Matt_H]

Ugh, HTMLView... that brings back some bad memories. I had a hell of a time tracking down a working set of archives a number of years ago.

Seems I've got v12.6 of the .mcc (Jan 3, 2000), but I can't remember where I got it. It might have been from this old thread (thanks blobrana!), but now that link is unfortunately out of commission as well. I can't find that archive on my hard drive, but I'd be happy to send you the .mcc itself.

It doesn't generate beta timeout messages (from what I can tell), but if AmRSS demands v13.x, there's probably not much you can do until the v13.x 68K build is fixed.

One last thing to try: use the v12.x .mcc with a v12.x .mcp. Don't know if that'll help, but it might be worth a shot.

@ rkauer

Nope, that's the same as what's on Aminet - the 68K version inside is still 12.5

[Matt_H]

version 12.6 is on aminet

No, it isn't. The archive is labelled as being 12.6, but it actually contains 12.5b.

EDIT: Ah, but the amrss68K.lha archive does contain 12.6.

@ Rabbi

Are you sure AmRSS 5.57 won't work with HTMLview.mcc 12.6? They are packaged together at Alfie's website, so I'd certainly hope they'd work together...

@ Rabbi

At first glance, I see that your version of OpenURL is very old - the current one is 7.0 for 68K. When you install it, rename the OpenURL program in SYS:Prefs to something like OpenURLPrefs. Otherwise, you'll experience a problem with path priorities in which something trying to call 'openurl' will get the one in Prefs/ rather than the one in C:.

BUT

Before you try that, try SnoopDOS. See what sort of activity is going on behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the freeze.
