I'm using ORCA/M for the GS version 1.1b. I've had no problems with it until
recently. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the editor has stopped working.
When I try to edit a file, about 90% of the time, the editor displays "Illegal
text data" and then either 1. Hangs, 2. Clears the screen, displays
"Memory Manager: An invalid handle was given", and hangs, or 3. Returns me
to the shell, without letting me edit the file. The length of the file I'm
trying to edit doesn't seem to have
anything to do with it, but certain files will usually work and certain others
will never work. Some of the files that don't work are files that I was editing
with no problems before the trouble began. Does anyone know what's going on
here? Is it a problem with system disk 5.0.2? (That's the only thing I can
think of that I changed recently.) If it matters, I have a ROM 01 GS with
1.25MB and a hard disk. Please help. ORCA is pretty useless without the editor.
