Under 1.2 Enhancer you get a guru 3.00021D88 (after a mouse click), under 1.1 you get just a dead system. I was persistent enough to try everything, including triple-triple checks of my triple-triple checks, re-downloading, etc. Initially I had a fully loaded system but the exact same unvarying problem occurs even with a single drive 512K system with no extra peripherals hanging off anything. Naturally I followed Andy's advice in having no background processes nor popcli nor any other memory eaters running. The 1.1 gamma WB has the same problem. There are no truncated files in any of the postings (they all have headers and trailers sandwiching the uuencoded stuff). I calmly spent literally the entire day trying various software and hardware configurations, and re-doing everything; nothing works. Hence I can safely say that it is the distribution itself that is broken. I'm dying to get this going (else I wouldn't have spent twelve hours on it today); Andy F., I would really appreciate it if you would find a known good version, uuencode it, and then 'diff' it with the distribution to let us know where to fix it. I'd rather edit the uuencoded files than to have to wait another week for the second whole distribution, not to mention the considerable download time. Thanks, Doug Merritt hoptoad!mentat!doug, pesnta!mentat!doug, ucbvax!unisoft!certes!mentat!doug P.S. Size of "Juggler.uue" 19018, of "Juggler" 13784, of "movie.data.uue" 407316, and the size of "movie.data" is 295610. The sizes of the uuencoded files do not included the header and signature from the posting, just the uuencoded stuff itself.
