I just got my Equation Library last Wednesday (6 weeks exactly) and I've been
playing around with it. I found in the UTILS directory an object ELVER that
puts up a nice title screen. It said that I have version A of the EqLib. 
What versions do other people have?

On another note, I had a `memory crash' also last week. I believe it was
induced by the EquationWriter. I had produced a derivative which I tried
to recall into the EquationWriter (I had 13K free at the time). The
EquationWriter bonked out after a little while with an out of memory
error message. I thought that was that and so just cleared the stack.
A little while latter, I wanted to edit one of my program in { HOME }. I
did a visit and found that it was corrupted; it was just a very short
program but there were all sorts of garbage. (Sorry for being so vague
but this all happened last week and I didn't note down the messages and
so forth.) Seeing this, I did a ON-C and answered yes. When it was finished,
I pressed VAR and noticed that every non-directory object in { HOME } was
gone. As well, all directories have been renamed to D.01, D.02, and so forth.
In D.01, there was an object called Alarms that seem to contain all my
alarms.
The question: what happened? Since I'm not very accurate about my 
description, I can't expect a very detailed explanation but does
anyone know what might have happened. Also, how can I use the Alarms 
object to reestablish all my alarms?
