The same to me. I only tested memory protection just because I wanted a setup a
bit more stable...  :-I

I tested Thing 1.27 very recently... I don't know if it's the absolute last
version but Jinnee is much more user friendly! The only lack of Jinnee 1.x is
the unability to see the access rights in the directory windows.

Thanks...  ;-)  I'm not a newbie. I keep on using DMirror (only on pure TOS
partitions) just for nostalgia. (If it ain't broken, don't fix it.) I don't use
Diamond Edge any more. HDDriver tools are better to handle partitions... Now,
I'm gonna also see what MiNT's version of fdisk is worth to.

Never had a problem with it... At least no problem for which I may blame
fpu060v6. The only app I know/have which use the FPU is POV and it seems very
happy this way.

See you,
