Known problems with GEMINI Version 1.1 -------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1989 by Gereon Steffens & Stefan Eising GEMINI is a shareware program by Gereon Steffens Stefan Eissing Elsterweg 8 and Dorfbauernschaft 7 D-5000 K”ln 90 D-4419 Laer-Holthausen Germany Germany Mailbox: MAUS Bonn, +49 228 254020 Mailbox: MAUS Mnster, +49 251 80386 English version of docs by Ton van Overbeek, TVOVERBE@ESTEC.BITNET We are aware of the following problems (for which we are not responsible and for which we do not know a good work-around) with GEMINI 1.1: - GEMINI as autostart program under TOS 1.4: There are sometimes problems with accessories after exiting GEMINI. Also the VDI sometimes gets its workstations mixed up (This is a VDI bug!!). - A few programs do not run or do not run correctly under GEMINI for unknown reasons to us. To these programs belong e.g. FOMA, VIP Professional and SBREAK. If anybody has some ideas about this, please let us know. - All programs which follow the Mark-Williams C extended arguments standard have problems with Atari's ARGV method, because they are slightly different. The work-around is simple: use the X:N option in $PRGNAME_EXT. To these programs belong e.g. Uniterm and Flash. - When Mupfel is started by shell-escape from TOS programs (mostly editors like Z or MicroEMACS) then there are problems with the screen in GEM programs started afterwards from Mupfel. The only remedy we know is: DON'T DO IT! If you absolutely need to do this then you should install these programs such that all windows are closed at the program start. This will not solve the whole problem. To solve it we need to know for each process in the chain of parent processes if they are TOS or GEM programs. As far as we know there is no legal way to obtain this information. - Tip for users of Turbo-C 2.0: To use the shell function you have to start TC from Mupfel or GEMINI. You should define "mupfel" as an alias for "sh" before starting TC.
