problems running AFA_os

[jmbattle]

The earlier versions would occasionally cause my AIAB system to lock up, so I experimented by deleting the AFA libraries (exec/datatypes/graphics etc. one by one) until the system became stable.

However, this has not been a problem for quite some time.

Perhaps the issue lies with your custom kickstart?

Glad to hear you managed to get it working, however I would continue to experiment as you will lose some AfA functionality without all the libraries in place.

AmigaMance, may I ask if you have reported your experiences to Bernd?  This is surely the most efficient solution to correcting bugs.  AfA OS has come on in leaps and bounds since the initial versions last year, however as you suggest, the last two updates do not appear to have resolved issues that are relevant to your situation.  It does not hurt to try however!  

I am curious as to what kind of slow-downs you are experiencing.  I spent a little while testing the speed of opening images using multiview with and without the AfA OS datatype library and could not detect a (noticeable) performance loss.  Note however, that I am using WinUAE so the speed of 68k functions is difficult to measure.

Cheers,

Ah, I recall reading something about that not so long ago.
Whether or not it has truly been fixed is another matter, however.
