[comp.windows.news] MacNeWS under A/UX 2

laukee@canon.co.uk (David Lau-Kee) (11/01/90)

Don't suppose anyone has tried running MacNeWS under A/UX 2.0?

I understand that Grasshopper are no longer supporting MacNeWS, so
my question is is there anyway to convince a program looking for the
toolboxdaemon (as under A/UX 1) to run under A/UX 2?  I'm pretty
ignorant of the ins and outs of A/UX, so comprehensive answers
would be nice.

Well, I tried to start it up. You are right. The program complains
that toolboxdaemon isn't running. I created a dummy program in the
hope that it just does a "ps" to verify it's running. I guess someone
has to create a dummy toolboxdaemon that acts like the A/UX 1.0 program.

Anyone know how easy it is to create a fake toolboxdaemon?

A version of MacNeWS is available from the Grasshopper group. They have as yet
not gone out of business and could use the support.

I'm ordering my copy monday!

I obviously meant a version that runs under A/UX 2.0 is now available.
It is LIGHTNING fast on a IIfx.
