Here it is again updated to match the latest code. Pardon my for taking this off at a tangent and asking what might be an awkward question based on my ignorance/innocence. However since I've just found and reported various apparent 'issues' with hostfs I am wondering - why 0.8.6 doesn't use EmuFS? With 0.8.2 TechWriter saves files with filetypes OK via EmuFS, but it doesn't with 0.8.6 via hostfs. I can also !Boot from 0.8.2 EmuFS, but not 0.8.6 hostfs. With 0.8.2 I also get a 'drive icon' that lets me read (and write if I so choose) files from my Linux /home, etc. But 0.8.6 doesn't do this. Is there some other problem I've not noticed yet with EmuFS and which prompted the switch to hostfs? At present when trying to use rpcemu for the kinds of things I'd otherwise use my Iyonix, I'd choose 0.8.2 in preference to 0.8.6 as it avoid the above snags. Am I missing something? Apologies if the above just shows my ignorance.
