I KNOW I posted this via Web, but it never went through....AAaaaaanyway....

WHAT information? That site only provides the archives with the lousy
unhelpful documentation that's in the same archives on Aminet. The Flash
update is OK -- as far as I can tell, the instructions are very specific.
PPC.library -- ditto....very little to know, but it tells you how to do it.
But the 68060.library archive doesn't say s**t about how to install the
680x0 libraries.

Ditto. That's where I got these libraries in the first place.

I've located the archives on three AACDs [I can't find AACD13!], but all are
STILL the same, and they don't provide full instructions at all. If they
do, they're an extremely roundabout way of explaining things.
COuld someone just tell me, then, how, step-by-step, to install the bloody
680x0 libraries?!?!!? I swear, I'll whap a cricket to death with a salmon
if I don't find out soon...
Quote carefully and read all ADMIN:README mails
