Product: Flyer

Platforms: 2000 3000 3000T 4000 4000T

Problem: Users experience problems with CD operations either during installation of the Flyer software, or with operations after installing Flyer software.

This is usually the result of overwriting a newer version of AsimCDFS, which the user has purchased and installed, with the older version which is licensed by NewTek, and is on the Flyer install set.

During the 4.1 install, the install routine checks for the presence of a CD-ROM filesystem driver on the target system. If such a driver is detected, the user will be offered the choice to use the version of the ASIM software which is on the Flyer install disks, or to use the drivers already on the system. If the user has AsimCDFS, it is best just to use the version already on the system.

Also relative to 4.1 and earlier Flyer install CDs, if the system is using the AmigaDOS 3.1 CD drivers, then the user should install the ASIM drivers, because the 3.1 CD drivers will cause the install to fail at the Autohue file. The Autohue file has a file size of 0, and AmigaDOS 3.1 CD driver cannot copy a file of size 0. AsimCDFS can. The 4.2 and 4.3 install CDs use a dummy file for Autohue, and they can be installed by the AmigaDOS 3.1 CD drivers.
