I am intrigued

Re: MuView (thread) comp.sys.acorn.apps Posted: 11 Days 7 Hours ago by: Martin Is !MuView in a directory that is in the Boot at Startup list? Resources or Utilities for example. If not, then if you run Reporter from Boot you can search for MuView and see when it is referenced. Martin
