Rename the file extension from img to iso and try Daemon Tools to mount the image as a disk - usually works for me.

No, the concepts that inspired NT came from VMS, not Unix. The system structure is quite different from Unix. All of the Unix-like stuff was tacked on later. For that matter, so was the Windows-like stuff - it wasn't until NT 4 that the GUI subsystem was integrated into the kernel, to the extent tha...

Just to clarify, there is no way of specifying the filename of configuration for this program.

Assuming you have any say in the matter, could the CD (SPTI) access patch be added to this one? Or is it already?

I'm a little surprised this patch didn't make it into the 0.3.0 final.

Why reinvent the wheel? Use Spike, a free clipboard manager/sharing program that runs on Windows and Mac and communicates over the network using Rendevous. It works well between real Macs and Windows - there's no reason to assume that it won't work here. Spike is even useful as a standalone clipboar...

I upgraded because I was already using several Win32s programs at the time, particularly some corporate tax software and the Oberon System. Windows 95 was much more stable than Win32s on Win 3.11, so it was a big win. By the way, I bought Win 95 and Office 95 on the first day they came out, at 9am. ...

I would just like to say one thing. If you are using a P3 trying to run the Altivec build your kinda being redundant. The Altivec code isn't going to give any PURE boost levels or "optimized" performance. Running a P3 with Altivec is like running a race backwards. "You might get ther...

While we're on the subject, why not SPTI?
