[comp.sys.atari.st] Mint, gem.prg & tos1.4

andre@maestro.htsa.aha.nl (Andre v.d. Vlies) (10/29/90)

Hello world, I wanted to try out bgacc.. (I already had Mint in my auto
folder) I did replace the init.prg with yhe gem.prg (that is I renamed
it) and rebooted. It seems that gem.prg doesn't like my TOS, my computer
starts up alright, but I never see any files. I mean, I got a desktop,
disk icons, windows but no contents in those windows, I only got empty
ones. Any hints, anybody ????

PS. Please respond by e-mail, we don't receive any news anymore until our
hardware is repaired........

I played around with MGR and Mint this weekend.  It's pretty cool!  I 
didn't have everything configured to my liking though since I didn't 
have that much time (I was supposed to be studying for an audio
midterm).  Anyway, I renamed GEM.PRG to INIT.PRG and got the same
problem.  Then I disabled the cache on ICDBOOT and everything was
fine.  I don't know why I thought this would work, but it did.
