  Wow!  I like that idea!  You're right, it seems like it wouldn't be that
hard to do.  It'd be great to see something like this at low cost or PD  (Or
shareware, since it probably would be an often-used utilitiy, which means
people might even pay the fee!)  However, I'm WAY new to Amigas, so don't look
at me, I'm not a programmer either (yet). :-)  However, I just wanted to mention that there are probably umpteen things
that "non-standard" programs can do to crash a 3000, so I'm a little skeptical
about how effective the program might be.  However, It'd be good to SOME stuff
working, at the very least.
  Well, how about it?  Any authors out there have any ideas?
