Message-ID: <40e53258.1285f@maize.engin.umich.edu> Date: 16 Jan 89 09:16:00 GMT Reply-To: mystone@caen (Dean Yu) Organization: Computer Aided Engineering Network, University of Michigan Lines: 24 For those of you out there who thought that MDS Edit (or just Edit) would never break, (I know you're out there; I used to be of that opinion myself) I must tell you something that's on the level of learning that there is no Santa Claus. (Sorry if I spoiled this, too...) Edit DOES break under certain conditions, namely, if you have more than 31 fonts. If you have more than 31 fonts in your system and you try to use Edit, it'll hang and hang and hang. Believe me. I just spend the last half hour mixing and matching INITs trying to figure out which one was causing the crash. Then I realized that I installed about ten more fonts the other day, and hadn't run Edit since. Obviously, Edit's doing something funky with the enableFlags field of the menu resource. Now the question is, does anyone know how to patch it? ______________________________________________________________________________ Dean Yu | E-mail: mystone@caen.engin.umich.edu University of Michigan | Real-mail: Dean Yu Computer Aided Engineering Network | 2413 Kelsey House ===================================| 600 E Madison "These are MY opinions."
