As mentioned about a week ago. http://www.riscos.info/pipermail/rpcemu/2010-May/000935.html > With 0.8.2 TechWriter saves files with filetypes OK via EmuFS, but it > doesn't with 0.8.6 via hostfs.

If you're desperate for similar functionality. cd rpcemu/hostfs ln -s ~ homedir This creates a 'symbolic link' from a folder called 'homedir' in hostfs back to $HOME (~). But please remember the caveat on the webpage, "all files used with it should be well backed up before using them with RPCEmu.", this now counts for the files in your homedir too. -- Peter Howkins [email protected] _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
