Ah! System 2...

I once used a two-floppy SE on the Tomorrow's World LAN, all of which was
run from an Mac II server which nowadays wouldn't be thought adequate for
word processing. I can't remember the underlying system software (Jack
Weber knows because he used to maintain it as well as producing a large
part of the programme output). We used MacWrite. The whole programme was
produced on it every week. It was *so* slow, yet so wonderful that in the
end I dumped the PC and got a Mac...

Gosh... The memories.

Nowadays of course TW is linked into the Beeb's main system and the front
end in Windows 95. To be honest, it's quite good. But not that good...

The thought of having more than one blessed system folder on a HD is pretty
confusing I guess. I suppose one reason would be to have several possible
TCP (all right, OT) setups available.

I know this isn't the place but what the hell, the same people read both
groups; what's the way to have alternative TCP/IP setups? Can it be done
with OT without rebooting? I seem to remember that this was a feature
nowadays- is it?

I've set the follow-up to demon.ip.support.mac.
