    System Requirements:

    For FinalCalc to operate, it requires the following:

    At least 3 megabytes of RAM (random access memory) in your system, with at
    least 2 megabytes of free RAM when FinalCalc is run.

    AmigaOS (Amiga Operating System) version 2.0 or higher. FinalCalc will run
    under versions 1.2 and 1.3 of AmigaOS, but with reduced functionality.

    A hard disk with at least 5 megabytes of free space.

    FinalCalc uses several system libraries. The AmigaGuide system library and
    the ARexx libraries are needed for all features of FinalCalc to be available.
    Running FinalCalc from the Workbench:
    To run FinalCalc from the Workbench, simply double-click its icon. FinalCalc
    will start up and show you a blank project.

    You can also run FinalCalc from a project's icon. When FinalCalc saves a
    project, it creates an icon for that project. If you double-click on the
    project's icon, FinalCalc will start up and load that project immediately.

    Running FinalCalc from the Shell:
    To run FinalCalc from the command shell, change to the FinalCalc: directory,
    and then simply type the name of the program. (either FinalCalc or
    FinalCalc.FPU) The current shell must have a minimum stack of 20480 bytes for
    FinalCalc to operate correctly.

    Quitting FinalCalc:
    To quit FinalCalc, use the 'Project - Quit' menu. This will close the current
    project. When you close all projects active in FinalCalc, you will be asked
    whether you want to quit the program. If you click on the 'Quit' button,
    FinalCalc will shut down.

    Last time I tried FinalCalc on MorphOS 1.4.x, and there it didn't work properly. It was an issue related to graphics refresh.

    FinalCalc installs seconds. The four adf's on the ambient desktop and "puff" it was in my system. FinalCalc loads as fast BUT BUT anymovement of the mouse causes a freeze and the system has to be rebooted. There is a config folder but it is empty? I am starting fresh bet this time we will try a manual installation. Setting up the 4 adf's, looking inside each floppy and a re-install.
    :-)

    Reinstall manually same problem freezes with mouse movement. Guessing it has to do with video-ram.
    Why would a mouse movement cause the system to lock?

    Trying the non FPU version

    Refresh bug? Is there a way to make the screen have less resolution?
