Rosenberg) Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz; CATS Lines: 24 I am sure the Rich knows ore about this than I do, but I ran into some compatibility tests with LSP on a Mac II running in color. Most of them were fixed, and the rememaing few (sounds like you hit one of 'em...) are to be fixed for the next release, which is upposed to bring LSP up to speed with LSC, adding in several of the most-requested features. As for the exact problem, I am not sure, although I know that when LSP acts as a shell to your program, it has to fiddle a lot with the normal operation of things. This causes many difficulties, including some involving color. I am not sure that your problem is related to the use of color, but more to the memory involved. When a II is in color, it uses up a lot of memory, and LSP needs a chunk of its own. LSP gives your program a bunch of memory to use, and this can cause some problems, with regards to memory useage. This is particularly apparent on 1 meg machines. When you switch it to color mode, or build the aplication to run on its own, it gets more free memory, and less problems of this sort will occur. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Alexander M.
