Then such as Pluto will be usable.
I've successfully got RPemu running under ubuntu 10.04lts with RO4.02 So far I can't get select to work with it. However, I've got Mpro (on-line version) to work from a copy (including Newsbase) on a network server using Sunfish to access the network drive. The show stopper preventing my migration to Linux from windows VRPC is a problem with ZapEmail. Shared clipboard and ability to export urls to a linux browser are also on my wish list. The ZapEmail problem is that if I edit an email or news post from MPro, Zap opens in data mode instead odf email mode, despite me using the settings that work in VRPC and on my RiscPC. I suspect it is a filetype problem with Host(Emu)FS. Overall RPCEmu is nearly there, but not quite. I'm not up to developing, but living in hope. -- Brian Duffell Yarm England _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
