This time (as someone pointed out) due to inflammatory reasons, I received a large (read around 10) responses. Nobody so far has been able to duplicate the system bombs (id=10). I have tried removing all the inits and Public domain stuff from my system folder, but the bug seems to persist. If I ever discover what was wrong, I'll post it. Meanwhile, the bug was no big deal. Most of the people who use it like it over MS Word 4 though everyone complained the program was extremely slow (even on the 68030 machines). I received a message from someone at Aston-Tate saying that the update was going to come next year. So that might mean 27 days or 392. After reading the article in MacWorld on Aston-Tate, I think the higher number is a better guess. Oh, BTW, here is a bug I found in MathType 2.05. Select Matrix entry and enter a 0 for number of rows or columns. Immediately you should get a Zero Divide System bomb. I know its kind of silly bug, but hey nobody likes the cute system bomb anymore. Thanks to everyone who responded. Rajiv. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajiv Agrawal (614) 292-9029 (614) 421-7970 206 W 18th Ave, Columbus, OH 43210 BITNET: TS5600@OHSTVMA INTERNET: agrawal@rcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu rajiv@felix.eng.ohio-state.edu agrawal@porsche.eng.ohio-state.edu Being an Indian, I prefer to work 8-5 Indian Standard Time.
