PowerUp-to-date

1. Andreas Kleinert about the WarpUP support of his programs

»Hi,

this is just a small press information on my PPC programs.

Recent tests have shown, that the latest versions of nearly all of my PPC programs - including SView/PPC and the akDatatypes - do perfectly work together with Frank Wille's ppc.library emulation for WarpOS, starting with V0.6b.

Unfortunately, WarpOS V4.0 only does include V0.6 - however, the newest version always can be found on Frank's homepage under http://home.owl.de/~frank/

Using the ppc.library emulation yet is the recommended way of running my programs under WarpOS - although a few programs/modules already do exist as WOS versions (which mainly still are under development and not yet complete).

SView/PPC and the akDatatypes do offer preferences options for switching between the two possible selections under WOS: the emulation will be utilized when auto-detection and the respective "ppclib emu" option are enabled.

As a matter of fact, the "ppc kernel controversy" now is solved, at least regarding PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX products.

Thanks for listening.«

»Hallo,

I just want to inform you, that - in opposition to rumours - there are no problems, if the PPCLibrary versions of the akDatatypes or of the SuperView-Library are run under WarpOS systems (WOS). But you have to pay attention to this:

install WarpOS V4, if possible (powerpc.library V15+)

install the ppc.library emulation V0.6d (or better) by Frank Wille (WarpOS V4 contains just V0.6)

Remove PPCInstall from the startup-sequence and/or replace it with "LoadLib" following the tips of Frank.

The latest revisions of the datatypes resp. of the SV library, which means *not* the revisions of the SView Prod. CD and of PMPro offer in parts the possibility of direct WOS support resp. configuration options for choosing the (emulated) kernel.

Links for download of the latest revisions can be found on my homepage (see below).

Until the optimized WOS revisions are available - if those are, even with optimal emulation, really necessary - it is recommended to run the desired programs (when using WOS) under the use of the PPCLibrary emulation.

For users of the original ppc.library V44-46 nothing changes - an ugrade to the latest revisions of the flash ROM, the ppc.library and the 68040/68060.library could usually quite useful (ftp.phase5.de)
