Re: EMX file to floppy using EMXP and OmniFlop

2008-01-31 by esynthesist

You should license OmniFlop for use with EMXP explicitly, as
(a) explained in the manual of EMXP
(b) explained only three weeks ago in message 
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/emax/message/4078

I will change the errormessage in the next build of EMXP in such way 
that it asks the user to license the software via OmniFlop. Because 
too many users are asking the same question... (and probably don't 
read the installation guide in the manual, I'm wondering why ???)
