Has anyone found a way to get the MG-FTP.PRG to run with Geneva and NeoDesk4 ? I've tried all three versions of the program I could find (1.1-1.3) with no luck so far. Here is a quick run down of their behavior. 1.1 and 1.2: They will load, and connect...but upon connection the mouse becomes busy and stays stuck there. I've found that flipping the modem off will free up the busy prompt and return control, but of course the connection is lost at this point. Sometimes, if I wait 30 minutes or so, the busy prompt will go away, and ftp will display the correct directory...but changing to another directory yields the same busy bee problem. I've tried running it with all sorts of flag changes in Geneva, including single tasking, and hold menu...all with no luck. I've also tried setting STik and my modem both with DTR, and ignoreing DTR. Both versions work perfectly under normal GEM/TOS. 1.3: MG-FTP.PRG can not find its RSC file under Geneva. I've tried toying with the PATH variable in Geneva with no luck...also tried putting the RSC file on all root directorys and it still can't find it. Once again, the program works fine under regular GEM/TOS. Obviously, MG-FTP wasn't intended to work in a co-operative multi-tasking environment...but a properly written GEM application is supposed to be able to run under Geneva...at worst with a flag that puts it in single tasking mode. At any rate...if anyone has found a way to make mg-ftp work with Geneva/NeoDesk4...please let me know how you did it. I'd also welcome any suggestions as to other things I could "try".
