It is unfortunately unclear to me if this little gem is uploaded to Sumex or anywhere else but I think it should be! I am willing to see if I can mail it to people who specifically wants me to do so ;-) But 'If I get swamped with requests I will try to upload it to Sumex instead!' I was convinced that it was a free program and I was myself given it when I was in Japan this summer so I think there should not be any problemn there. If anyone thinks differently please let me know, and if anyone knows if it is available already for FTP please inform us about this! I should say something more it does that Blesser never did! It lets you switch startup volume if you have several SCSI-harddisks online you can easily switch between them also without specifying this in the cdev Startup and it is funny in the way that nomatter whatever other system you specify it thinks you are switching to an 'English' system. I have found that it works with 6.0.7 Japanese and Simplified Chinese, Trad Chinese 6.0.6 and Arabic 6.0.5 and I guess it should work with the Hebrew 6.0.5 to, if that is ready yet. Just one small thing more. Maby many of you are unaware of the fact that with the appearing of the 6.0.5 and above Script Manager systems, there is a great possibility of combining even the Chinese, Japanese and Korean systems and to merge the resources into one system-folder That would allow some of you ( who has this special reason for 'switching') to simply start using one system only. I should warn you however that this eats a *lot* of RAM (at least 2,5 meg and if you are gready as I am you can say goodbye to 4 - 4,5 meg...) Just one more thing the switching between SCSI-volumes does not work on a plus but I guess everyone has guessed that already as the Startup-CDEV does not work either ;-/ Happy system Hacking mrfung PS. I am in no position to send anyone system software in any form and I am sorry but I will have to ignore any request for such I can post more information about how you combine different scriptmanager-systems if anyone is interested but you will have to get the Systems you want to combine by yourself. I guess everyone is already waiting for the next CD-Rom for Developer Tech Support. Anyone knows what the vol VI is going to be called? ********************************************************************* * Lars E Fredriksson, | Email: mrfung@nada.kth.se. * * Far Eastern Library | Telephone: Int + 46 8 666 43 94 * * Box 163 58 | * * S-103 27 STOCKHOLM | or home: Int + 46 8 97 28 72 * * SWEDEN | or home modem: Int + 46 8 46 15 60 * ********************************************************************* * Be the first to support UNICODE in your neighbourhood kill ASCII * ********************************************************************* DISCLAIMER ?
