MiamiDX

[punkyclown]

Hi All, Been a while, you know once you climb that mountain of getting your classic Amiga upgraded and running great you kind of sit back and just enjoy it.  Okay, now can someone please tell me where I am supposed to put the Miami-Mui-Gui file so I can then install the software.  I have it in my Sys:System/Mui folder but that doesn't seem to work.
So if someone knows exactly where it should be, please let me know.
Much appreciated,
Brad Hansen

What file are you talking about, specifically?  I have MiamiDX and use it regularly, just did a quick search on my SYS: partition and didn't find anything named "Miami-Mui-Gui".

If your install of it is mucked up you may just want to re-run the installer, in my experience Miami is probably the easiest of the Amiga TCP stacks to install & configure.

(I know, I'm opening myself all up to flames by saying that, lol)  :p

Mike, sorry, the file is Mui.miamigui and when I run the MiamiDX install, it aborts with "Sorry, you need Mui.miamigui to complete this installation". I would love to just install Miami, which worked great for me but I can not find .lha file for it.
Thanks

I think you may be running a different version from me.  Project --> About menu shows mine as version 1.0c (10.04.2000).  I believe that was the last version of MiamiDX before the author rage-quit the community.

In any case, I found a similar file - "MUI.MiamiDxGui" in SYS:Internet/MiamiDX/Libs/

(screenshot attached)

I put all of my Internet-related stuff into SYS:Internet, obviously your path may be different if you chose different install options.

BTW, I believe you can download the complete installer off Aminet.  And then just google for a key.  Miami is one of those programs that I would love to register, but the author...  Ugh.

Unpack them both into the same directory, then all is in the right place and you can install it.

Miami is available there:

http://aminet.net/search?query=miami32

Same procedure as above. You need the main archive, one of the CPU archives, one of the GUI archives and optionally one of the locale archives.

Interesting... is this old or does this mean he is getting back into development for it?

Mike, Thomas, Thank you for the Help.  I have it installed now.  Next is the MiamiSSL installation and now I can't get it going.  The install is asking for a MiamiSSL encryption library.
There is a file in the package MiamiSSLusa.encyp something but the installation process does not recognize it and crashes.  Do I need to rename this file or put it some where else?
Much appreciate your help.

I have to write it, I really do.

I LOVE installing Amiga software, it is almost 50% of whole Amiga experience (other 50% to make hardware work ). On different system, you simply click OK (like 50 times) or drop "icon" into Applications = booooring. AmigaOS - noooo waaayyyyy you spend hours, days, week or even months... to make Internet going, just to see how Ibrowse 2.3 (2.4?!) works (I mean do not work ).


I know, I really like my Amiga's, I really do.

Hey now, Ibrowse works great... for downloading updates to other programs from Aminet, lol.  :lol:

I would love to see continued development on both Miami and Ibrowse, and would be glad to put my money where my mouth is.  But the latter I'd be lucky to see in my lifetime, and the former... yeah, I won't hold my breath.

I know, I'm not going to say anything new, but I will say it. If there is no new software and in particular 100% working web browser for classic (emulated) AND AmigaOS4.1 there is no ANY future for this computer (is there any "present"currently for Amiga?).

How many times, we all ask this question: What can I do on Amiga? I will not spend $2500 for A5000 type of computer and later ask this question: What can I do on this computer? Instead of "developing" new motherboars that support AmigaOS we NEED software (usefull software).

Beside this AmigaOS really don't offer nothing "amazing" today (sorry!) from regular Jo Regular User, as me. My phone is better...

OK. I'm done, sorry for off topic, but I just need to get this out of me once in a while (in public ).

[QuikSanz]

Seems to me Roadshow and Netsurf, when it's done will be quite useful. Progress is being made!

@krecui
Didn't you ever think it's just "amazing" that we have a choice?
and since you have a choice not to buy a x5000...don't...
But let us who want to spend our money our way, do so! I want a 5040!!

I really wish I knew why you keep "beating your dead horse".
PLEASE, can you let up for a while?

to the thread sorry for the OT

I would say it's old, since it mentions Miami 2.x. The latest available version is 3.2b

Miami needs a separate encryption library. Due to export regulations the file was not available on aminet. Here is a link for the library: MiamiSSLIntl10.lha

MiamiSSL is old. Use AmiSSL instead: http://www.heightanxiety.com/AmiSSL/
