there were different folder names, but 1-16-cur does work

it would just be a rename issue, who is looking after easymint atm?

the simple solution (from my trials with multiple installs on ARAnyM/AFROS)
would be to make /usr/bin/aes a link to /c/mint/xaloader.prg and then either
copy the relevant xaloader, or make it a (changing) link to the
correct xaloader

there is no one way to do this, I have a script system to change between
1-16-cur & 1-17-cur, but I can also swap between different versions of 1-17
via script. The correct version is load because each mint version has its
own .cnf, with its own relative xaloader

The system I use is a combination of copying & renaming files,
and/or sym links. the renaming of copied files is simply to provide a single
file name that the .cnf files can reference, the exact version is recorded into
a text file, that the scripts use for info.

Because of ARAnyM, I do the same thing with TOS/EmuTOS roms, one file
called current.tos.rom

BTW, I have never got any 1-17 xaaes/xaloader to work properly with 1-16,
as too many thing have changed in MiNT kernel ..

If everyone here is using EasyMiNT, then a simple solution that can be
"clicked" should be possible with script and not to much hassel.
