Hi Martin,
Here is one idea I had. It is based on one of the minimize folder icons.

Hi all, when trying to run the good old American Heritage Dictionary (published by DUX) on ArcaOS 5.0.7, I get a SYS3175 with PMMERGE.DLL, the app does not start. Googling for that error gives many results with people mentioning similar problems. There are also patched versions of PMMERGE.DLL but all much older than the current ArcaOS version, that may or may not have integrated this patched version. IIRC this problem happened with eCS too but not with the original Warp 4.
Was there a known solution / workaround to be able to start such programs on current versions of the OS?
From my perspective this way of fixing stuff is the same as throwing mutt at the wall and see if it sticks.
I think everybody is putting Glenn on the wrong foot to make him replace pmmerge.dll. It might fix the crash the but nobody even knows why the crash occurs in the first place. So if you backlevel the last version of pmmerge.dll with an older one. The program might start to work, but then what is broken ?
I mean its all well intended but what is causing the crash in the first place ? PMMERGE.DLL is pretty important system dll and not something that should just be swapped out like spare tire from the trunk of your car.
Glenn can you put back the original version of pmmerge.dll and run the program ? Post the popuplog.os2 entry and then I might be able to tell why it crashes. Maybe a font that is installed ? I have no clue but then we MIGHT be able to trace why it crashes.

The ZIP package is not a RPM package. It's just a zipped version of the unixroot layout. It's included for people not using RPM.
Hi Jochen
I tried installing the FeatherNotes RPM package and I get the message below.
I installed the zip package and created a program icon. When I execute it nothing happens.
If you use RPM, you should download the rpm package and install it via RPM or the Arcanoae GUI.
