[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 61 of 69 | ANN.lu |

>when IB (falsely) claims to run on OS4 when in fact it´s MOS!! :-)
It doesn't. IB just doesnt care about MOS. MOS delivers a wrong version number since it's build on OS3.x which is in case pre V50. Fact. This is an AmigaOS styleguide which MOS simply misuses. AmigaOS apps will use this V50 numbering to enable features in their code ASAP OS4 will be available which MOS simple cannot provide. -> App will crash on MOS.
I don't think that any MOS app cares if it runs on OS4. It simply won't start (there is no MOS layer in AmigaOS4). Why should they care anyway. Who is interessted in runnning MOS SW on AmigaOS?
(Go ahead. Flame me ;) |
