Attention 1.3 users.
Toward the end of finishing this version of MegaD, a particular
A500 running 1.3 would crash whenever launching other programs
with MegaD. I could not find the cause and to be honest was not
that worried about it, I do not have a 1.3 system in the house.
1.3 is DEAD, continued support for this arcane system is a waist
of time for me and other programers. If you use this version of
MegaD on 1.3 please do so with this warning. MegaD seemed fine
for all other task except when starting other programs and
remember that this was on one particular system and it may be an
isolated case.
MegaD has always had a problem setting the current directory for
a launched program under 1.3, this causes the unarcing of files
to be delivered to the ROOT: device, this is the drive that
booted the system.
MegaD works perfectly under 2.0+ and 95 % of the beta testing
was done on 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 systems. If your not using 2.0 or
better you really should be, the OS has been greatly improved
for both you the user and I the programer.
The next version of MegaD will not support 1.3 at all. Many
kludges/hacks/fixes are coded into MegaD, just because of 1.3.
I'll be cleaning out the old 1.3 code and with just a little
luck adding better support for the new AGA systems.
