                       Program System Requirements


    AIBB is designed to operate on many different platform arrangements,
but there are a few requirements which are necessary for proper program
operation.  These are as follows:

    -- AmigaOS 1.3 or greater is necessary on all systems except those
       using the MC68040 as the system main processor.  AmigaOS 2.0 is
       required for proper operation on those systems.  Users of AmigaOS
       1.3 with accelerators must be sure to be using the latest SetPatch
       routines for those OS versions. ( SetPatch v1.34 ) Among other
       things, SetPatch corrects a problem with FPU code with this OS
       version, and is necessary for proper operation of AIBB.

    -- AIBB will function with a minimum of 512K of memory, provided very
       little else is loaded to use any of that space.  However, AIBB will
       most likely be very limited under such an environment, and a lower
       limit for proper operation is more realistically 1 megabyte of RAM.

    -- MC68040 users should have a math function emulation library such
       as that supplied by CBM or accelerator manufacturers to properly
       emulate the MC68881/MC68882 hardware-implemented transcendental
       functions.  AIBB will look for the presence of one, and if not found
       will not allow the use of the 68881/68882 FPU-related test functions.
       68040 specific math code option functions will still operate however.

    -- AIBB uses a shared library for its file requester functions.  For
       this reason AIBB requires that one of the following shared libraries
       be within the system LIBS: directory:

               1. kd_freq.library  ( library version 3.0 or greater )
               2. req.library      ( library versiopn 2.0 or greater )
               3. asl.library         ( AmigaOS 2.0 systems only )
               4. reqtools.library

       AIBB will search for these libraries in the order given, stopping
       when it is either able to open one, or none are found.

    -- It should be noted that although there are no restrictions placed on
       the type of system AIBB can be operated on, this program was never
       really meant for use on unaccelerated systems.  On such platforms,
       AIBB may seem to operate somewhat sluggishly, although no operational
       problems should exist.
