I've been trying to use Geneva on and off for ages. It was partially open sourced. and offered up as donationware (that site seems to have gone now, though) a while back and I really want to like it as I've always been a bit cooperative-multitasking-curious.
I'm using Geneva 1.8 from 2017 which I got as a pair of disc images from... somewhere. Perhaps the Gribnif site. I don't remember now, I'm afraid.
GEM programs seem to work pretty well, but I seem to have continual problems with TOS programs. The GNVA_TOS wrapper program seems to really struggle with just about everything I throw at it including emucon2.tos and unzip.ttp.
Symptoms tend to be the client program never terminating properly and causing the wrapper program to remain open and unterminatable. Chosing Teminate or Terminate/Close has no effect. The task manager produces the same results.
Was this the normal experience? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better version to use?
Anyone much experience with it?
Cheers,
BW

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: Geneva & TOS programs
Sorry not a direct help, but this video series is probably the most thorough I've ever seen on Atari / Geneva. Maybe he will demonstrate programs in the series that you struggle with, and as a result you might see how he sets things up?

Re: Geneva & TOS programs
Hi BW,
The Gribnif site was moved to here:
https://gribnif.github.io/
V1.08 /1.8 was the last official Geneva version but as the source code is also there I vaguely recall a few forking and making different versions.
It used to be part of my daily environment when I had a 4mb Falcon as its footprint was small. I recall being impressed with the TOS in a window that didn’t hog the screen and didn’t recall any issues with it.
Maybe something broke but hopefully you can resolve it?
