Giving WinUAE a spin (again) and...

It shouldn't, you can just format it right off :-)

Click on the drive icon once to highlight it, hold the right-hand mouse button down, go to the Icon menu at the top of the creen, and choose Format Disk from there ;-)

No problemo, not something you do regularly if you can avoid it!

You can't have a file called 'aux' under PC OS's, and it won't keep all the file property bits either.

ok, I guess they made changes there - if trying to copy AUX around you used to get file errors.  Personally using shared folders has caused me grief several times in the past ...

As for web browsing, IBrowse is nice, in 1/2 hour chunks (the price is a bit steep for me).  I like AWeb 3.5, it's free, still at beta stage, but mostly works (just have to hit reload sometimes).  I havn't used Voyager yet.

AWeb is designed to run on OS3.5/3.9, it looks for Reaction fist, then Classact, so maybe it's not picking that up - does it say anything about that in the documentation?

(the PL version of AWeb 3.4 gave me similar errors when I didn't have Classact installed, ideally you shouldn't need it on 3.5/3.9 at all)

[Holley]

Reaction is built into OS 3.5 and 3.9 ... you don't need both, AWeb 3.5 just looks for one then t'other ...

I don't think your Classact installation worked, which file did you download? (note 'classaction' is a file manager, not the same thing).

[Holley]

This shows how handy it is to have OS 3.9 :-)

It's hard to get back into Amigas after a break, but having OS3.9 helps as it includes most of the 'standard' patches that accrued over the years.

Works here, what are you downloading it with?
