Hi to all.

I'm having problems with Oasis 2.10. I love V1.35 which I have used ever since I
made it onto the 'Net, and was excited at the prospect of Oasis2. I registered
in advance, paid money, everything. Oasis2 came out. I had problems. Couldn't
use it. The authors told me to wait until 2.05 cam out. i did. When it came out,
I couldn't use it. I waited until 2.10 came out. it has. And I can't use it. So
is there anyone out there that can help me? Please?

I have a 520ST upgraded to 2.5 Meg RAM TOS 1.2, with System Solutions 170 Meg
HD booting from HDDriver v3.7, then using Superboot V7. I am running everything
clean to try to get Oasis2 working. These are my problems.

1) Once in Oasis2, I can't get out. The Exit commands cause the mouse to vanish
and the computer to freeze.

2) If I try to call ICE or the OASIS editor, it tells me it can find them on
Drive I. Why is it looking on drive I? I have all the OASIS stuff on Drive C.
Anyway I moved the needed files to drive I where I put them in a folder called
OASIS2 and these programs come up OK now.

3) ICENET2.PRG just doesn't work. Period. It starts up then freezes with a menu
bar across the top.

4) I configured ICE.NET by hand to try to get it going. I can now log on. ICE is
called and goes into it's thing, dials, and I get connected. Then all I get is
'IP:Bad checksum' coming up every second until I have a long column of them on
the screen. Then the modem hangs. 

These are my primary problems. There are others, but I won't go into them. 

I am coming to the conclusion that OASIS2 just won't work with my version of
TOS. Am I right? Or are these common complaints?

Can anyone help me? Or should I just give up? I'm a little frustrated,
especially as I preregistered over a year ago. 

Thanks for any help!

Simon
