	Greetings!

First of all, since this site recently started receiving comp.sys.atari.st after
unclogging, I think I've missed something... What's this PD UUCICO?
I'm definately interested, and I'd appreciate it if anyone can post it to the
net (if it's not already on its way and it's really a PD uucico). 

Secondly, any homebrew appl.'s that I write using MWC that use VDI calls cause
the mouse to lock up upon returning to either the desktop OR the MWC (V.2.0)
shell. However, no other facet of normal system operation is (apparently)
affected.

Finally, the following segment of code WILL work if I insert a debugging
printf inbetween every VDI call but seems to whiz right by the whole shebang
if I don't.

/*_______________/ Cut, fold, and seal here. /_______________*/
#include <aesbind.h>
#include <gemdefs.h>
#include <vdibind.h>
#include <osbind.h>

/* global line A variables used by VDI (DEFINE OR ELSE!) */
int contrl[12], intin[128], ptsin[128], intout[128], ptsout[128];
int work_in[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 };
int work_out[57];
int pxyarray[4];
int vdihandle;
int nowhere = 0;
Rect norect = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
int rand();

main (argc, argv) int argc; char *argv[]; {
	int x, y, x0, y0, dx, dy, xabs, yabs, xmax, ymax, xrand, yrand, click;
	int cliparray[4] = { 1, 1, 639, 399 };
	appl_init();
	vdihandle = graf_handle(&nowhere, &nowhere, &nowhere, &nowhere);
	v_opnvwk(work_in, &vdihandle, work_out);
	vs_clip(vdihandle, 1, cliparray);
	xrand = work_out[0];
	yrand = work_out[1];
	do {
		vswr_mode(vdihandle, 1);
		vclrwk(vdihandle);
		vswr_mode(vdihandle, 3);
		vsl_width(vdiandle, (2 * (rand() % 6)));

		x = y = 0;
		dx = dy = 1;
		do { ** some stuff */
			click=Cconis();
		} while (click != -1);
	while (click != -1);
	v_clsvwk(vdihandle);
	appl_exit();
	exit();
}	/* procrastinators untltd. */
/*____________________/ End of source /_______________________*/


My original test printf's came after every VDI call up to the dx = dy = 1
assignment.

Any .c's or .s's would be greatly appreciated; however please send all flames
concerning the length of this to your own /dev/console. You'll like what
happens 8->.

                                  In advance, thanks!
                                                Herb
