  2. Is MCP safe to use with 3.9?
  3. Are there any compatibility problems with Birdie under 3.9?
1.
Q: ToolsDaemon no longer works under 3.9; how can I replace it?
A: Although ToolsDaemon was a hack, all of it's functionality is now supported by the latest workbench.library (v45.102). You can use Nils Goers program, THE, to add menu items to Workbench. Thomas Neidhardt's EASys commercial application also provides solutions to this problem.
2.
Q: Is MCP safe to use with 3.9?
A: Yes, just make sure that you don't have any options in it patching diskfont.library, as this will prevent 3.9's font cache from working correctly.
3.
Q: Are there any compatibility problems with Birdie under 3.9?
A: Make sure Birdie is run without the NOICONBORDER and FLOODMASKWB options.It may cause problems with the prefs editors that use the ReAction GUI. Timo Moretto reported that several lines of text are written to the same space, and when trying to resize the window to force a redraw, all gadget-graphics in the window disappear. [Rolf Max Rotvel]
