[Forum] Serious bug in IBrowse 2.3 | ANN.lu |

IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as running AmigaOS 4.0 !!.
There exists a crude hack that just replace all "AmigaOS" strings with "MorphOS", and
"3.1", "3.5" and "3.9" with "1.1" or "1.2". Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.

Serious bug in IBrowse 2.3 : Comment 10 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 04-Feb-2003 00:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Argh): > MOS-fan: "MOS is 100% compatible to AmigaOS. Application cannot tell the difference. MOS is the best. OS4 is not compatible to OS3.x"
> IBroswe: "You are running an AmigaOS machine."
IBrowse says nothing about the machine AFAIK, only the OS, and hasn't been told to distinguish between AmigaOS and MorphOS.
> MOS-fan: "No, no. MOS is totally different to AmigaOS. MOS would not dirty itself on such a useless machine as an Amiga. Yuck. The two are entirely unrelated."
Relax. This isn't what anyone is saying. 68x Amiga apps can run in MorphOS's Abox just as they will in AOS4's 68x emulation; this is where there is similarity. The fact that IBrowse reports an AmigaOS environment indicates the success of the Abox, wouldn't you say? Of course it would be nice if applications were smart enough to distinguish the real host, but this isn't much more than a cosmetic flaw, it seems to me.
