I was crunching some iff's with CRUNCH (By the Powerpacker guy) and the prograqm ticks off a %filedone %gained, in th cli. Works fine... BUT Say i ACCIDENTLY type a char in the cli window. (Without noticing it) the program will "pause" till i hit return or delete the chars... This Seems to be somthing that SHOULDEN't happen.... I seem to remember that programs like Lharc ignore stuff typed in and keep scrolling along.... Why does crunch act diffrently... (could it of been i was using a AREXX script to crunch a BUNCH of Pics) Just wondering..... Seems to "STOP" multiasking to me.... -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ---------------------------------------------- Macintosh...
