Hi Gulliver,

Are you still working on BB4?

Cheers!

Don't let it "automatically update" your s:startup-sequence as it will TRASH IT!

Choose 'no' when it asks, and it gives you the commands to enter manually.

Can anyone tell me what the "FAST" in the LoadModule line does except making LoadModule ignore the whole command-line?
I've modded the add to the s-s like this:

Code: [Select]

;BEGIN BB4s MOD
Version >NIL: exec.library 45 REVISION 20
If WARN
SYS:C/LoadResident >NIL: DEVS:card.resource DEVS:trackdisk.device L:KingCON-Handler
EndIf
SYS:C/LoadModule >NIL: L:RAM-Handler DEVS:battmem.resource DEVS:FileSystem.resource DEVS:misc.resource DEVS:potgo.resource DEVS:scsi.device L:FastFileSystem L:Shell-Seg LIBS:dos.library REVERSE NOREBOOT
SYS:C/SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES console.device,ram-handler,FileSystem.resource,filesystem,scsi.device,shell QUIET
;END BB4s MODI've added L:RAM-Handler and removed LIBS:icon.library and LIBS:workbench.library (as these two are loaded anyway from disk by SetPatch when not using "DISABLEROMMODULES """). The following needs to be named like this to be recognized by SetPatch:
console -> console.device
filesysres -> FileSystem.resource
fs -> filesystem
scsi -> scsi.device (unsure about this one)
And off course I've removed the FAST from LoadModule.
Wouldn't it be better to stick with either LoadModule OR LoadResident? I've experimented a bit with both but the results are inconclusive but I've found it best to let it remain as is.

EDIT: My LoadModule is version 40.12 (3.10.2009), is there e newer one?

What are you talking about!? Can you attach a copy of your supposedly "trashed" startup-sequence for verification?

No because it was three weeks ago and i didn't backup the trashed copy.

By "trashed" I meant that it removed lines i'd added to my startup-sequence, can't remember off the top of my head what was removed now but it definately removed a few things.

Luckily I took a backup prior to installing it.

i'd added to my startup-sequence

There's the problem. User hacking of startup-sequence has been unsupported since OS2.0 came out c. 1990, user-startup is intended for that purpose. Plus the readme explicitly notes that it is intended for a fresh install.

This is off topic, so I apologise in advance....but I notice one of the patches that this new graphics library replaces was called "AmyWarp".  I'm unable to find this on aminet.  Can anyone tell me what this patch is or where to get it from?
Thanks a lot.
