I wanted to say, that Peter in fact didn't say anything, except for
arbitrarily blaming MiNT for hypothetical insufficiences. Whose as well
may be STiNG insufficiencies. If he'd say what problem there's really
there, we'd consider fixing that. As far as I know, MiNT uses XBRA hooking
up to all vectors it uses.

All software you have mentioned works fine when started before MiNT
(except for Freedom II, which never works fine under any system).
