If you were doing somthing and then decide to use another program, warm reboot the machine, and then try the new program, some of the pointers are not wiped clean, and this(JUST A WILD GUESS) is probably why problems like these (I HAVE HAD THEM) only (USUALLY) happen when you try to use the program without turning the Amiga off. This happens for the same reason that the ASDG RRD works(right perry?), that is that all of the memory is not cleared when the machine is when you perform a warm boot. I am not positive if this is the reason, but it sounds logical.... right????? ================================================================================ Mike Reilly // ---- ------ // University of Buffalo Computer Science AMIGA// ---------- -- ------- -------- ------- \\// csnet: ugmiker@buffalo.CSNET \/ uucp: ..!{nike|watmath,alegra,decvax}!sunybcs!ugmiker BITNET: ugmiker@sunybcs.BITNET, v107ln7z@ubvmsa.bitnet ================================================================================
