Subject: Cal 4.7 - problems with 'save'?

I unbundled the nice 'Cal v4.7' tool (posted in c.b?.atari.st some
time ago). It's really nice, and I would really like to use it.
But then after playing around with it a while I decided to enter 
my personal birthday list. I did it and then I left the program
with asked me to save my changes. Well, I pressed the [save] button,
and expected the file select box to come up. But, instead ...
...?
...?
... nothing happened. Nothing! The program hung. I waited some rather
long time (perhaps this nifty thingy has to clean up its tables after 
entering quite a lot of new data? - I thought) but... nothing. I finally
(siiiiiiiiiigh!) pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del. I hoped it was a single effect 
and would never return again... I started entering my birthday list again,
saved some times in between, all went well, but... half way through...
save failed again with the same behaviour. I was rather annoyed.

I like that program (no, really, besides that effect, at least). The 
author left no e-mail address (and I'm too lazy to write postcards... 
perhaps I should, yep). So, anyone else out there with the same problem?
I think I did have no spectacular environment, but, to be sure, something
like: 520 ST+ (1MB) monochrome, TOS 1.4, CardFile, Rho Control Field and 
Cal 4.7 as ACCs, Desktop Picture (v. Kruysbergen?), Vortex HDplus 30, ...

It would really be a pity if I couldn't use that nifty program just 
because of some stupid misbehaviour like this...

Any ideas? Is the author reading this? (forgot your name, boy, my ST's
at home)

Hopefully waiting,
Marc
