I'm having trouble getting ADOS 2.0 to find the fonts in rom. Any attempt to specify Topaz.11 for (for example) menus or IntuiText fails unless there is _another_ copy in the FONTS: directory. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? On another note, the "snapshot window" menu option on the workbench seems non-functional. Right? Setup: A500, SupraDrive, 2Mb fast, ZKick, KS 34.5, WB 36.16. Regards Alan

You are probably doing something wrong. Do you know as fact that topaz 11 is in ROM in the 2.0 version you have (it is not guaranteed to be in ROM...)? Can you open the other ROM fonts (topaz 8 and 9)? >On another note, the "snapshot window" menu option on the workbench >seems non-functional. Right?

Even C= does not put out a version for the 500, and your kickstart number seems a little off. Maybe if you waited until 2.0 was released for your machine you would get better results (no :-) Dave

I'm told that beta 6 will be released here RSN, along with the recent American DevCon notes. See - we are kept right up to date by Commodore Australia. What do you show for version, and what is it labelled as?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was doing something wrong. I forgot to specify the ROMFONT flag. Thanks for telling me your release number. I'm obviously _very_ out of date.

:No, no typos - this is what was sent to Australian developers as "2.0 B5".
:I'm told that beta 6 will be released here RSN, along with the recent

:See - we are kept right up to date by Commodore Australia.

:What do you show for version, and what is it labelled as?
My current version kicks out:
Kickstart version 36.197. Workbench version 36.77
That is labeled as 2.02 beta 2. 2.01 was Kickstart 36.143 and 2.0
was Kickstart 36.141. Beta 6 was a 3000 release of beta 5, I believe.
Hope they get you guys caught up soon! :-)

Beta 6 was a 3000 release of beta 5, I believe. >Hope they get you guys caught up soon! :-) NOTE: "Beta 6" for non-US companies is what the US calls "2.00 Release" aka KS 36.141 (or maybe 2.01 (aka 36.143), it may depend on the country, I don't know for sure). Note that Bill just got 36.197 a very short time ago, it's not something that has been around any amount of time. I'm not in CATS, and I don't know exactly what the criteria for being shipped copies was (Commercial Developers for certain). I can't talk much about these, but I wish to avoid any confusion for people out there, particularily the Beta 6 vs 2.0 release confusion. #include <std/disclaimer.h> -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Common phrase heard at Amiga Devcon '89: "It's in there!"
