I just purchased CircuitMaker 2.01 by Iliad Software, Inc.
The premise is simply to be able to put together and simulate TTL
devices. I'd give you a review of the product, but it's simply
not cooperating, and I'd like some help:

I followed the directions for installing on a hard drive, and it
booted up just fine.  Then, when I tried File...Load... XXXX Circuit
the circuit got loaded from disk, and displayed on the screen (for
a brief moment) and then TWO BOMBS!

So fine, I'm using the monochrome version, with a monochrome monitor,
on a 1040ST (minimum RAM satisfied), and all my silly accessories
stripped out, and still no luck (same symptoms).

Since I've also got a color monitor, I decided to try the color version
of the program (Iliad ships two disks, for separate resolutions).

It worked FINE in color.
So I can use it on color, but I'd RATHER monochrome!

I tried calling Iliad's BBS # in the back of the package, but I got
a # disconnected voice, no fowarding #.  This worries me.

Does anyone have CircuitMaker 2.01 and NOT have this happen to them?

Thanks in advance, please e-mail.
