I am currently running 1.15, at least that is what mintvers returns. My mega4 is and has been running all this time. I use it as a clock. I have trouble with the tools. I have never successfully established minix fs. I had a megafile60. the tool ran, but when I looked at it the original files were still there for TOS. I could not find anything with ls. ls works strangely on my system. I have 1.16 but it is still on the PC in archive form. If someone wants me to test 68000 1.16 I can. josephus -- Everybody is Ignorant, just on different subjects. --- Will Rogers Jr. It's not what you dont know, it what you know that aint so. ---Josh Billings
