Money Matters (sometimes ..)

Money Matters was one of the software packages, which the bounty requires to run (http://www.power2people.org/projects/profile/1). So let's try to install it:

This is AROS with a small amigaOS workbench window:


Open the "floppy":


And launch the installer:


I have 2.7GB free on my partition, seems like this old installer can't deal with such sizes:


Ok, so we have to use an editor to fix it. We use the aos3 Jano Editor for that. (we could have used the native AROS version, too, of course):


AmigaOS Jano Editor (with AROS native border gadgets of course!):


Search for that "insufficient available space" message:


and where it is used:


Remove size check:


and try again:


and now it worked!


Money Matters in j-uae:


Money Matters runs on am amigaOS custom screen, so you will not get any fancy AROS menus, window frames or border gadgets, sorry. But of course you can launch it from wanderer or use the clipboard to exchange data with other AROS/aos3 programs.

Nevertheless, there is still this "big mystery bug", which I am unable to fix. I get random, rare crashes on aros-hosted on linux, but others get crashes much more often and faster. I just wanted to prove you, that j-uae *can* work, at least sometimes .. (to come back to the headline).
