Correct me if I'm wrong but amiga has no standardized memory protection for
quite sometime.  Which leads to my next question, do they even have an MMU
mapping setup to protect any areas of memory at all?

Another solution, is the instruction... Please reboot without mint to use
this program.  Maybe not the most elegant, but very simple.  ;-))

Also, maybe it's just me, but I find the html replies hard to follow because
of the awful formatting. Would it be to much to ask to not use html or at
the very least set it to use colors to differentiate who says what?
