The "nice Intuition interface" in FastDiskII is programmed *in a very wrong way*. Go look at the code... in cases of errors the main loop is re-entered recursively, all #defines were removed and hard constants substituted everywhere, just completely terrible. Gives Oliver Wagner a very bad reputation indeed. Deserved. Almost made me stop playing "Bally"... (a game that he wrote) >Holger Lubitz, Kl.
