It seems that Deja Vu, while it will run under Kickstart 1.2 and Workbench 1.1
without problems, will act up under Workbench 1.2 (ie boot off a non-game
Workbench). From the layout of the disk it looks like all the necessary files
are found from the volume name, so I ruled out a mis-assigned sys:, etc. I
tried to get it to use 1.1 & 1.2 intuition.libraries so that I could see if
there was a difference, but I couldn't find any (however intuition.library
may have been opened during the opening of the initial CLI, right?).

What happens is that the menus show up as XOR'ed rectangles the height of the
screen, menu selections leave a bar behind when you release the button, and
it will occasionally hang after a selection. It happens both with and without
fast memory.

**** Does anyone know of an easy fix? **** A complicated fix?

BTW, a utility to delete files and ignore the protection would be handy, as
would one to let you address a file with strange characters in the name via
the CLI. This was one time the Workbench interface was mighty frustrating
as it wouldn't let me change the protection or scratch the program by any
means (lord knows why I couldn't save the .info file).
