I'll send you a shar'd uuencoded copy (approx. 20K); look for it in a mailbox near you! :-) Am surprised you had a problem with MSE, though. Since early 1986 I've been using CSA's 68020/68881 boards in my Amigas and have had very few problems during the past 18 months. Most the problems are due to privilege violations or self-modifying code (the latter a real no-no on the '020). The only commercial titles of which I'm aware that are troublesome on the '020 Amigas are SINBAD, Macro Modem, Barbarian (though Ken Hodel pestered Psygnosis DAILY (long distance to England) 'til we received fixed copies), HARRIER Combat Simulator, and SubLOGIC's JET (though their FS-2 works fine). Nearly EVERYTHING (PD and commercial) compiled with early versions of the Lattice compiler (e.g. 3.02 and 3.03) will fuckup an '010 or '020 Amiga. And a lot of new stuff compiled with Lattice is causing other perturbations (witness the spurious requestors "User Abort Requested"). These problems can be fixed by re-compiling with Manx (and you get smaller and faster executables as a side benefit (Lattice ads notwithstanding)).
