Hello Users:

   I found so many bugs in my entire software library! In sierra game,
I played my sierra game (Space Quest II version 2.0F (interpeter: 2.202))
under both WB1.2 and WB1.3. In AmigaDOS version 1.2, when animation was
very active, it went to GURU messages after I exit the location of
screen. It crashed the system and generated garbage on my screen in short
time, then it displayed GURU message that said me that Software failure...
84000005.00000000 (Corrupt from memory list). It must be a serious bug.
In AmigaDOS version 1.3, it was worse than old version. Leave the first
screen, it went to the same GURU messages (84000005.00000000). I unable
to play entire Space Quest II. Should I report to Sierra, Inc for
replacement? Please me know that.

    In Lattice 5.02, I tried to compile the large program and system asked
me for swaping disks many times. During compiling the program, it crashed
the system and it went to GURU messages (8700000B.xxxxxxxx) or locked
up forever (no GURU occured).  What is 8700000B error message? I never heard
of it. Is this a bug in disk swapper or software? I *hate* many bugs in
my Amiga software!

Please let me know. Thanks.
