The layout.gadget is a 68000 binary with V37 support code in it. This means
|
|
that it will work on any machine with at least OS 2.04 on it. However,
|
|
because Intuition V37 does not support some features the layout.gadget uses,
|
|
it has to kludge a few things. These kludges are contained within an OS
|
|
version check, and are fully OS legal. They will not be used on a V39
|
|
machine. Obviously these checks can slow things down a bit.
|
|
|
|
To rectify that, layout.gadget.020 is a 68030 optimised version that
|
|
requires V39. It will refuse to work on a V37 machine. However, it WILL
|
|
work on a 68020, regardless of being optimised for a 68030. Because it
|
|
requires V39, it also uses Exec memory pool functions directly instead
|
|
of the linked lib versions. This is another reason why it is faster.
|
|
|
|
In short: if you have 68000 or 68010, OR if you have OS 2.04 or 2.1, you
|
|
have to use layout.gadget. If you have 68020 or better and OS 3.0 or
|
|
later you can, and should, use layout.gadget.020. The V37 version will
|
|
work just like the V39 version would, but it is a tad slower.
|

|
You do want all the speed you can get, don't you? :)
