Known bugs
Known bugs in CGTerm 1.6.
- Unix users might get a complaint about a missing keyboard.kbd
file the first time they start the program. Simply restart and
the warning should be gone (but you still have to configure the
keyboard as described in the documentation).
- Disk image routines are broken in 1.6, specifically directory
and BAM code doesn't work correctly. d64 should be safe to use,
but don't use d71 and d81 images.
