Exec will not use KickTagPtr if ANY of the AllocAbs's made using KickMemPtr failed.

I hope you can tell me ... Again, CoolCapture is called before the very important InitCode call that gets things running, including (in expansion library) configuring plug-in boards and AddMemLIst-ing their memory. If you want to use this approach, try using WarmCapture. Take a look at Markus Wandel's Exec disassembly for more detail. -- Dan Babcock
