Whatever causes an OS 3.2 slowdown compared to 3.1.4, you first have to find the reason and fix the problem. Then you can install my library to get even more speed. |

Being honest I know others have had some issues with speed on 3.2 but I haven't. It seems fine to me and I just installed your library firstly out of habit and secondly to be able to use some icons I wanted to use that didn't show up otherwise.
I haven't yet played with any options on your library but just went with it as it is. |

Yes, maybe this is the case, that some people updates or install 3.2 over their prev config not clean install.. Thanks for sharing additional informations |

As said on another post OS 3.2 is faster than Os 3.1.4, but if you install it on other OS then it can become slow.
Peter's icon.library works very well on Os 3.2 and thanks to it is possible to use on Os 3.2 any kind of Icons. |

One of beauties of AmigaOS is that if you know what you are doing there isn't much difference between an update or a clean install as an os installation it's only a matter of copying files. Obviously you must know your system very well and some basics of how the os works and of course it is easier if you have fully personalized your os from the scratch and not used some pre-built, heavy customized pack. I have updated from my 3.9 installation and the system is now way faster and uses slightly less chip-ram than before. The guys really did a good job with this OS.

An installation of OS 3.2 on OS 3.9 is not a good thing in my opinion, the two systems have different and incompatible system localization files, so you will not be able to use OS 3.9 system applications anymore.
Also, if you use the Startu-sequence of OS 3.9 you won't be able to run native OS 3.2 applications even if you use KickStart 3.2. Things will work for you if you delete the OS 3.9 startup-sequence but in my opinion you will always encounter other inconsistencies. In my opinion a Clean OS 3.2 and integrated with supported Applications is the best solution, this is my OS 3.2 dressed in White, with Applications configured for OS 3.2, everything is fast and functional.

To use 3.9 locale with 3.9 applications it is recommended to place the locale files in a new directory and patch the path in the executables. Then you can run everything simultaneously. But be aware that a lot of prefs settings are missing in 3.9. So only some utilities will make sense.
I wonder what 3.9 startup does so special that it brakes booting or even running 3.2 software? 3.2 apps should work even without booting and just minimalistic assigns/setup. The complex part if you have to use loadmodule to enable 3.2 rom files, then you can easily mix things up to a not working state,since some modules depend on the others and will fail otherwise. |

Also here there is a solution as you mentioned using LoadModule, but as said you will always encounter inconsistencies I enclose an experiment of mine starting OS 3.2 applications on OS 3.9 BB4 + AfA OS, everything works fine but I regret OS 3.9 GUI for their expandability (size adjustment).

The language type is not a problem, if you replace the entire Locale folder you will also have working Italian on OS 3.9, but you can't have it if you reuse native OS 3.9 applications, create two Local folders unless you modify some executable.
OS 3.2 is an update of OS 3.1 and even if it has many improvements it's still a less advanced OS than OS 3.9, having said that you can't install an "older" system on a newer one because in the end you'll gain some things but lose others. |

Programs like IconEdit and Installer are (currently) less advanced than the 3.9 versions, and certain others are absent. On the other hand the system libraries and classes are considerably more advanced.

Though admittedly, I personally enjoy the OS 3.5/3.9 GlowIcons and MagicWB drawers. I'm weird like that. |

I suspect a manual for the T-Rexx II was never made; it's possible GVP-m closed shop before it was done... though it's likely close enough to the T-Rexx I that it wouldn't matter much if the primary T-Rexx I manual was found. There is a User's Guide Addendum for the T-Rex I (four pages, recently found and posted), but I've never seen the original full manual in print or online.

- several components in Prefs
- Exchange - HDToolBox - IconEdit - Mounter - Calculator - Format These are the ones I noticed. [edit] Most of the 3rd party tools should, IMHO, continue their life as 3rd party components. Last edited by Romanujan; 05 July 2021 at 20:13. |

Sorry, but I don't entirely agree with you, as main system I still prefer to use Os 3.9 BB4 + AfA OS
