Are you still with Symantec, Rich?  If you are, I'd really appreciate some
help.  And if anyone else can tell me what's going on, I'd appreciate
that too.

By the way, this is a reposting of an earlier question--I didn't get any
replies, but have a bit more info, and the I really need to solve these
problems, so I'm reposting.

Basically, THINK C 4.0 is messing me up.  It will not print correctly--
in draft mode, it (seemingly at random) removes line feeds and spaces,
inserts garbage characters (which are usually in the expanded, double-
width draft font and look like they are part of a string resource), and
repeat prints parts of lines.  This is with no inits.  I've also
had similar problems in other printing modes, and THINK C seems to take
a LONG time to prepare a 1-page file for printing.

As well, THINK C has a high probability of causing an application lauch
immediately after THINK C has been quit, to crash.  This seems to happen
about 40% of the time.

These problems are NOT caused by my own code mucking around with the system,
as I have yet to compile a single line.  Also, these problems do not occur
with any other applications.

Suggestions, anyone?  I'm getting quite desperate.

Thanks,
Ken McDonald
