Oliver Roberts' WarpDTPrefs - Reaction GUI - and OS 3.1.4

[Minuous]

No OS3.5 components are necessary. There is a full set of classes in the Emergency-Boot directory of the OS3.9 CD, just copy them to your hard disk from there.

Also I should point out that a 68020+ is still required, as most ReAction software, and the ReAction classes themselves, are compiled for 68020.

@TribbleSmasher:

Yes, but they are supposed to go in SYS:Classes and there is no reason not to put them in their correct location; they are part of the OS, after all. That way you won't need to assign anything as it is already handled in the startup-sequence.

@TribbleSmasher:

Those are not part of the official install. Some people like to keep their Sys: clean and maintainable to some degree.

They have been part of every version of AmigaOS except 3.1.4 for the last 20 years, and were only omitted from 3.1.4 because Hyperion did not yet have the rights, not for any technical reason. I fail to see how having BOOPSI classes installed in their proper locations would make anyone's installation unclean and unmaintainable. The entire set of classes fits on a single floppy and does not need any kind of maintenance by the user.

@kolla:

All BOOPSI classes will go in SYS:Classes like they have always done. So no, there will not be any problems. If you really want to put them somewhere else instead and have an extra assign, everything will still work.

BOOPSI classes go in SYS:Classes, devices go in DEVS:, etc. There has always been this division into directories. They could all be crammed into LIBS: but in the interest of being "clean" and "maintainable" it is probably better not to. The speed penalty is negligible even on a floppy-based system, which is why it has been that way since OS1.0.
