Seriously mate, its just not as easy as all that!
I have not long upgraded to Magic 6, and I also had Jinnee 2.5, and being on the dole, It took me long enough to save up for that, and I even had to get rid of a Mega ST4 just to do it, so coming up with even more money is not easy, just to test some software that I dont really beleive can do what Magic can.
I will give you an example of how things have gone the last few days:-
All the files I have, are in .tar.gz or .tar or .gz you know the score! - and can I get long filenames to run under MiNT? - can I buggery! and when I finally did manage it, could I extract them properly? - again, could I buggers like!
So, I have to re-boot into Magic, to let me use Long Filenames properly, and then I had to extract them with Jinnee ( By the way, does MiNT have any desktop as powerfull as Jinnee? ( hahahahahaha! )) and then re-boot back into MiNT.
And even now, while I can definitely se that MiNT does offer me a lot more potential than I thougt it would, its still rubbish, and vastly slower than Magic, so seriously what benefits would I gain from spending even more money on something I cannot really afford?
I will keep at it with OaAESis and / or XaAES, and even I am trying out the Geneva AES just for a laugh, and I have had more success with that for gods sake???
Anyway, I will keep on plodding until I either fail dismally or smash the bloody thing up!
