Hello,

I have recently upgraded my II to a IIfx, and can repeatedly crash the
machine.  Interestingly, I don't get the system bomb dialog; rather, the
screen goes wild, sort of like a tv with the vertical hold misadjusted.

To crash the machine, I do this:

1.  Run VersaCAD 2.1.2, do some zooming and panning around a drawing.

2.  Quit VersaCAD, run Microsoft Word 4.0.  Open a document, do a spelling
check.

3.  Close document.  This is the command that crashes the machine.

I'm running System 6.0.5 with no INITs.  If you know of any problems with
either VersaCAD or Word under an fx, I'd appreciate it if you could let me
know.

Thanks,

Rich Simoni
