Problem:  I can't get Perfect Sound 3.0 to run concurrently with Sonix 2.0 on
my 1 meg 2000.  I have tried launching Perfect Sound from the Workbench after
starting Sonix, but Psound refuses to load.  I tried it the other way with
Perfect Sound already loaded, but then Sonix won't run.  I get similar results
from the Shell by typing program names.  On the other hand, if I use 'run'
to start the programs, Perfect Sound gives me a return code of 10 and fails to
run...or Sonix gives a return code of 26 and fails.   I checked chip memory
before/during each attempt and there really should be plenty.  What is it that
these programs are fighting for??

I realize that on my 1 meg system I can't do too much with these two programs
if they are both running simultaneously, but it would still be useful to do and
really should be possible.  Right?  Or what's wrong?  Maybe bugs in PSound
and/or Sonix, or poor programming?  I'm not an Amiga programmer; why won't
these programs multitask?

   thanks and Happy New Year!
