BEFORE I flame somebody for posting 2.6 megabytes of useless garbage, would somebody tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong? I just spent >6 hours downloading the rs1 and rs2 .wrp's from xanth, and while they both boot, they both seem to end up hanging my input task, and then dying. [I assume that's what's dead when the CAPS LOCK no longer responds... :|] I tried running PalBoot on it -- but they aren't regular disks... Then I tried running it on a straight 500/1 meg Agnus, no doing. I would have thought that some combination thereof would have worked. #define FUSION FLAME If somebody from the other side of the Atlantic is going to send stuff over here, can they make sure it works on our machines first? This is a matter of common courtesy, I know we do it, I'm sure you've done it to us, but I'd like to avoid 6 hour downloads in the future. If this is intentional on somebody else's part -- may their gluons come all undone, and their quarks flung to opposite sides of the Universe. #undefine FUSION FLAME Sorry for the wasted bandwidth. :( David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu "Think you can, think you can't -- either way it's true."

I used the NFS handler of DNet (still too cool) to UnWarp them and they worked for me, but not without problems. In particular, I had to eject/replace the disk several times to make it finish loading parts of the demo. The disk reading routine seems to have some trouble. However, if you do get it to work all the way through (I particularly liked the way it asks for the second disk), it's a lot of fun. > If somebody from the other side of the Atlantic is going to send > stuff over here, can they make sure it works on our machines first? > This is a matter of common courtesy, I know we do it, I'm sure > you've done it to us, but I'd like to avoid 6 hour downloads in the > future. Kinda knee-jerk, huh? He uploaded it as a courtesy, and did test it on his machine first. Short of actually coming over here and running on someone's machine here, what would you have him do? Just not upload it? (He's also provided several other demos, all which worked, so he has a good track record). Anyway, you took it from incoming/amiga, a use-at-your-own-risk area... ...tad

Please explain HOW to use the NFS handler as I COULD NOT FIND ANY DOCS
ON IT!!!!!!!!
I posted an article earlier that asked if there was a NET: that worked
for an Amiga and Unix and was pointed towards the NFS handler. I checked
it out but still I don't know what to do.
