Giving WinUAE a spin (again) and...

[blobrana]

Hum,
i would Unreservedly recommend Ibrowse...
I have tested Aweb and Voyager; in the distant past, Voyager was the bees knees, but unfortunately it hasn't improved (for me; so best to stick to the very old, and stable, versions), and trying to make a website compatible for it while retaining most of the features for other browsers is a nightmare...
Aweb on the other hand is free, but doesn't cut the ice.
 i still have all three versions on my system but i can see no reason to ever switch from ibrowse while surfing  most sites.

Link site here.

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.

I've installed AWeb, but when I try to launch it I get an error message that says "Can't open gadgets/button.gadget".  I've installed (or at least I think I've installed) ClassAct, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Can't wait to try the browser, can you help me track down the problem here?

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)

I think I have ClassAct installed.  The file I d/led from Aminet seemed to bet the right one.  I have to have Reaction, as well?

Hum,
Have a look in Classes -> Gadgets->  BUTTON.GADGET

And see if it`s there!
(Also you can check the version number ,in it`s tooltypes,  while your there)

It is not.  No button.gadget anywhere to be found.

Now what?

[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).

It was, as I recall, "ClassAct2Demo.LHA" from aminet.

hum,
I would just download some classes/gadgets to dump into that drawer"
Current_Classes.lha here!


[Check the version numbers and if you see a newer version just rename the old one and copy...]

BTW have you tried Ibrowse yet?

Heh, that URL is as dead as a doornail, as is www.finale-dev.com !  :-?

No Ibrowse yet; if I can get Aweb working I'll go with that.  Thus far it's lookin' pretty grim!  (Now I'm starting to recall what drove me nuts (in a bad way) about the Amiga way back when..."Got this lib?  Got that class?  MUI installed?" AAAAAAARGH.)

[blobrana]

Hum,
oh well, just copy this directly into your winuae classes drawer then:

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/blobrana/downloads/BUTTON.GADGET

(right click, save as `all files`, NOTtxt file...)

[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.

Nope.  Still returning the "can't open gadgets/button.gadget" error.

[blobrana]

Whoops,
 i forgot the NOT (txt file)...
