Sorry for the sortfall of info in the last message.  I compiled with MANX
3.20a, correctly fixed vt100.h, and the compile occured with no errors. My
machine is 512k, 2 drives.  I tried to compile under WB1.1, 1.2b4, and 1.2g1,
all with the same results.  Crashes occur at execution time, shortly after
device information starts loading from SYS:.  Sometimes a Guru, sometimes
blank screen, sometimes multicolor w/ strange noises (from speaker), 
somtimes screen flips to interlace (?!) and dies,...,just all sorts of 
crazy things.  I have confirmed that that one of my 8520's is bad -- my
realtime clock doesn't work.  Could this be causing my problem?  The 
compiler seems to function correctly on everything else.

Thanks, again, in advance...
