[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 37 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by catohagen on 04-Feb-2003 11:12 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (Alkis Tsapanidis): >MOS sets a version number (no mention of AmigaOS) greater than OS3.9.
>V50. OS4 will have(has?) the same version number. That's why Mos is
>recognised as OS4, IB checks for a version greater than any other known
>AmigaOS version.
why does morphos need higher version numbers than amigaos ? mos is not
amigaos, so it shouldnt need to continue with higher version numbers.
What in mos have version number 50 ? and why ?
is it because of all the features mos coders have added ? Reverse engeneering
of the kickstart/exec/whatever and thought "all this vork deserves a v50 " :)
Or maybe the version stuff still hangs around from back in the days when mos coders belived they made the next official amigaos ?
anyway, by conflicting with the official and orginal version numbers, such
things will happen again and again..maybe a good idea would be if coders
agreed of spesific ranges or prefixes on version numbers, so programs could
tell if its a mos version or amiga version of exec or kickstart ? |
