I ran happily until I needed to use my bridgeboard, and discovered that Janus croaks badly on an interlaced screen. I switched my profile back to non-interlaced and rebooted. I was VERY chagrined to discover that my shell would not open (not 400 lines), and workbench would not load because of the prior failure. Can you say "No way to get there from here"? Moral: keep a maintenance floppy around to service your hard disk files. And consider keeping your startup general enough to work on a non-interlaced window. - Robert Mitchell -- UUCP: rmm20@juts.ccc.amdahl.com DDD: 408-746-8491 USPS: Amdahl Corp. M/S 205, 1250 E.
